I have booted up off a floppy with a special modified ICD driver with all cache's off and all set to a minimum to save memory. When I run turtle, it sets up the ramdisk, but every once in a while the program says something like "turtle.ttp cannot open file on drive xx" where xx is the ramdisk letter (I think M). The program stops, and when I return to the desktop, all the files that were backed up are hidden or something...I have to shutdown and wait for a bit, then I can turn my system back on and the files are back. I have a 1 meg 1040 st, ICD host adaptor and using the ICD driver. Has anyone else seen this problem and knows what to do?
