The problem is that the AP ramdisk considers $10c to be the start of it's memory and thus the RamDisk must be created after all other programs that attempt to use it have been loaded. This specifically applies to both TMon when loaded in high memory and MacBooster. -- David W. Berry {ucbvax,pyramid,idsvax,bene,oliveb}!tolerant!berry I'm only here for the beer.

I've got Fade installed in the System on my Macterminal disk, with an AP ramdisk. It gets copied with the system to the ramdisk, and seems to work fine. -- Brian L.
