I'm having a strange problem with ASDG's recoverable RAM disk, VD0:. I got it off a Fish disk (241?) and installed it, etc. I had previously been using RAD: with no problem, but wanted to check out VD0: because of its dynamic sizing ability. Anyway, what happens is this. I've set up VD0: with a max limit of 512K. My startup-sequence mounts VD0: and checks for the existence of a directory; if it isn't found it assumes that I'm cold booting and copies about 200K worth of stuff into VD0:. This works with no problem. But, when I do a warm boot, attempting to recover an already configured VD0:, the system crashes after mounting it. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running an A500 with 3 Megs of RAM and 1.2 ROMs. Thanks! <*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*> Steve Snodgrass == The Emerald Warrior == GRX1042@uoft02.utoledo.edu != normal SUBTEC (Student Union Board Technical Services) ---====++++ Turbosound "I personally would have placed the cadaver room at the county morgue ahead of OS/2 in the aforementioned category [best operating environment]" -A.

While it is smaller, it is also less robust in some ways. Try the version on FD59. And please, *don't* send in the requested shareware fee.
