Since I aquired my 1040Ste, I have not found a reset proof ramdisk that didn't bomb my system upon installation. I found the SI_RAM ramdisk (and print spooler) to be an acceptable non reset proof alternative, but now that I am using the AMCGDOS that comes with GEMINI (wow, GEMINI is GREAT!), SI_RAM bombs! So, I Started using M-DISK (a REALLLY old Michtron product), but it limited my ramdisks to 720k (which sucks if you have 4Meg :) so, I disassembled it and raised the limit to 2Meg, but now it bombs when I put alot of stuff in it. ANYWAY! I am really getting frustrated. What ramdisk programs are proving to be reliable? and at which site can I find them? Anyone else with an STe having problems?

It even compresses files as they are stored on the ramdisk with little aparent speed loss. I think it is available from terminator. >Anyone else with an STe having problems? The Problems I have are with double clicking on programs, sometimes they refuse to run and present a dialog asking for SHOW PRINT CANCEL just like for a document. The wierd thing is this fault is intermittent. Anyway I think it is solved by saving the desktop (Old ST desktop.inf seems to cause the proble.) Dave Halliday.

However, when I double click again on the program, 95% of the time it'll run then. This 'feature' is also present in TOS 1.4. Some motherboards seems to have trouble with the new ROMs, whereas other motherboards work just fine. Claus Priisholm Aalborg University Center Denmark

The guys at Atari thought it might be nice to look at the code rather than run the program from time to time. I'm not sure about the fix, I think that bug has appeared when I was using the desktop inf file on my hard drive, which is definitely an STe version. I find the best way to beat this bug is to buy Neodesk(!) Mark.
