The problem: I'm having troubles getting a recoverable ramdisk to
recover. So far I have tried BOTH the RAD: device and the VD0: device
put out by ASDG. Both of them mount, and are usable, but reseting
wipes these devices clean. I have even tried a wide array of changes
in the VD0: device definition in an attempt to get it to work, but
alas, no luck.
The suspected source of the problem: a 1 MB Fatter Agnus Chip. Some
months ago I had the new Fatter Agnus Chip installed in order to
achieve the full 1 MB of Chip RAM. What leads me to believe this to
be the problem is that I knew of another person who had the same RAD:
problem and a Fatter Agnus. However, he was able to conquer the
problem with the VD0: device.
My suspicion is that because he had a full 3 MB of RAM, he simply set
the VD0: device up into the expansion memory (this option is explained
in the instructions for VD0:). Unfortunately, I cannot do this since
I only have 1 MB of RAM to begin with (though, I did try...).
My setup:
Amiga 500
A502 512K expansion module
1084s Monitor
Internal and External floppy
Has anyone experienced this problem or have any suggestions/solutions
to it? It would certainly make my programming life a lot easier if I
could get it working. As I'm sure many of you know, when limited to a
two drive system, the RAM drive gets a lot of use, and when you
GURU...ouch!
Please either respond here on the net, or send e-mail to:

Thanks for all your help! :-)
