The way you reset your /RAM disk is to select the size you want then you must quit the control panel and quit the desktop accessory panel then press these keys:Open Apple_Shift_Control_Reset That simulates a cold boot without having to turn off the //GS. Remember to quit the control panel after you select your new ram disk size. Then press the necessary keys as described above. Todd Smith 2QZNHONE@UKANVAX.BITNE.B

One of the differences between turning on your machine and pressing OA/Ctrl/Reset is that the latter does not alter the size of the RAM disk. I checked out your precedure with the new ROMs to see if anything had changed. I also tried OA/Ctrl/Reset while holding down the Shift key (which shouldn't make a difference) to see if the GS guys slipped in something without telling me. As far as I could tell, there was NO CHANGE in the size of the RAM disk. The RAM disk was designed this way specially, so that it wouldn't accidentally be wiped out. -- Keith Rollin amdahl\ Sales Technical Support pyramid!sun !apple!keith Apple Computer decwrl/ Disclaimer: I read this board for fun, not profit.

THERE IS A PROGRAM AVAILABLE ON GENIE CALLED SRESET THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE S
TUFF ON THE CONROL PANEL WITHOUT TURNING THE MACHINE OFF. THE DISADVANTAGE IS
THAT IT REBOOTS THE SYSTEM.
