FixBoot is a temporary
initialization file (TIF) that makes sure that when your
Apple IIgs boots, all your ProDOS-formatted RAM disks have
valid boot blocks. It does this by copying the boot block
from your startup disk to each empty ProDOS-formatted RAM
disk it finds on your computer.
Why is this helpful? Normally, ProDOS RAM disks don't have
a boot block on them. FixBoot corrects this, so that you
can copy a system disk onto your RAM disk and boot from it
without having to remember to format the RAM disk first.
It all happens behind the scenes, without your needing to
pay any attention at all, once it's installed. If you ever
need to boot a RAM disk, FixBoot is essential!
