I had the same problem when I was trying out my lucas board, because I couldn't use my StarboardII with it. If you only have chip memory, the BuffMemType has to be changed to "3" (to make VD0: use chip ram). There is no error message when VD0: fails to mount, so the only thing you get is a "cannot find" message. Mounting also fails without a peep if the specified size is too big. Hope this helps. I don't have RRamDisk, so I can't help you with that, but the problem is probably similar. -- Fred Clauss INTERNET: fredc@isc.umr.edu (preferred) P.O.
