Not much known.

Reportedly, the RAM is accessed in 128-byte sectors.

The RAM is accessed using I/O ports. It can not be banked in like common RAM expansions do. So it's a real RAM disc, not an RAM expansion. There was support for FutureOS for a while (up to system 0.6). That support was abandoned later due to the very high price of the RAM disc (more than 1000 DM) corresponding to a very small number of units sold.

I/O Ports

  1. F9FC - #F9FE Otten & Fecht 1 MB RAM-Disc (R/W)
  2. FBF0 - #FBFF Otten & Fecht 1 MB RAM-Disc (R/W)

(Data taken from the FutureOS manual).
