It has listed on it; 1 x CMDUTILS CMD Utilities $24.95 1 x RL1RTC RAMLink w/1 Megabyte RAMCard and RTC $229.95 1 x RL BATTERY RAMLink Battery Back-up system $24.95 1 x RL-HD CABLE RAMLink to HD Parallel $14.95 DATE OF INVOICE 8/29/94 There is also a "lifetime warranty" card from a company called DATA SPEC, it covers the "cable assemblies". Wonder if that's who made the RL-HD CABLE for CMD ?? Interesting the bits and pieces you get with second hand equipment :) Mike

From: Wildstar on 16 Nov 2007 23:52 I probably wouldn't have to worry becase my 128DCR has the switches for changing the device number of the 1571 drive built in. It also has the reset buttons for computer and drive up-front. This would make such things like what you are referring to a little more easier.

From: Wildstar on 16 Nov 2007 23:55 IIRC: The Ramlink didn't have a jumper. The SuperCPU128 had some sort of jumper thinggy that gets installed inside the C128.

The original ramlinks produced by CMD has no jumper cables and none were needed. Only later on they appeared to affect the timeing speed. I have both the original and the later version from Maurice.

Is that for the whole RamLink system.
