It uses about 200 to 300 KB of memory (depending on the complexity of the configuration). Since Version 4.04 a Coldfire-specific version exists as well. TT-RAM or Alt-RAM, if installed, is recognised and used by TeraDesk. Although Tera Desktop can be run without the aid of a hard disk, the use of one is strongly recommended. Tera Desktop is not well optimised (file operations-wise) for use on single floppy-drive only systems. File copying in TeraDesk is performed file-by-file, which when copying files from one floppy disk to another on a machine with a single disk drive can mean a lot of disk swapping. On machines without a hard disk but with enough memory, a reset-proof RAM-disk can be used to contain TeraDesk files, which may speed up startup considerably. Tera Desktop has not been tested with ROM-port cartridges that behave as drive 'c' (lowercase C). It can be expected that such a 'drive' will not be recognised, or that other problems may occur.
