According to the local Apple User's Group, the Mousetalk docs indicate all Ramdisks are disabled by Mousetalk when it first runs. If you run it from a normal disk, with a ramdisk active, it will give you a warning notice that your ramdisk is about to be erased and offer you a chance to discontinue the startup. If you run it from a ramdisk it simply shuts itself off before it gets even that far. Eric ------

However, it runs just fine on the my IIGS ramdisk, thank you. I've got an AE GS RAM card with 1.5 megabytes, and have my ramdisk set up as an 800K volume (I'm running off it right now). My mousetalk version is 1.30, and I have never experienced either of the above symptoms. Pat McCarthy mccarthy@well.uucp well!mccarthy@lll-crg.arpa
