[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with VD0: or mount

jtreworgy@eagle.wesleyan.edu (James Treworgy) (01/05/90)

Does anyone know if there is a problem with the ARP mount command? Or with
ASDG's VD0: device (most recent version on FF disks before about 150, don't
know if there is a newer one). I tried to install it and mount it using the ARP
mount... mounts fine, and it shows up in my device list, but there is no way to
access it (any attempts result in "device does not exist"). I haven't tried it
with WB mount because my original WB 1.3 is locked up in my college room until
the 20th. (I am trying to add this to my startup after a particularly unpleasant
experience involving downloading to RAM, multitasking, and gurus)

James, the latest VD0: is not always an improvement.  I found that I
couldn't use it on my system (A1000 with Insider 1Meg at C0000) because
it doesn't work properly on memory installed outside the 8 Meg Fast
Ram space.  So I use the old version without any problems.  

I don't know if that is your problem but if you are using the latest
version which works with up to 8 Meg and is written in assembler for
smaller size and speed - and you have C0000 memory.  You might be in 
the same boat I am.
