This is Connectix RAM Doubler version 8.0.1 - a RAM virtualization software for Macintosh computers with installed RAM of less than 256 MB.
RAM Doubler 8 is not a solution for applications that require more memory than you have installed (in physical RAM). For example, a configuration with 8 MB of physical RAM installed should not run an application that requires 10 MB of RAM. The memory RAM Doubler 8 provides is best used to run more applications simultaneously.
Top DL: A Disk Copy 4.2 image file of a 800k DD floppy disk, compressed as StuffIt v5.5 ".sit" archive. Use same or Disk Copy 6.3.3 to write back to 800k floppy media.
