When I had a 1040 ST I used to use etrnl2.prg and was quite satisfied with it. I now have a Mega 4 ST and it has become unusable! (I do remember the net discussions concerning the proper test for 4 Mb.) I have recovered etrnl3/4.s - a version of resizable reset-proof ram-drive modified to work also on Mega4 - that was posted to comp.sources.atari.st (Volume 2, Issue 85) by Michal Jaegermann. I have *not* been able to assemble this on my machine. I have both Sozobon jas and GNU gas. Not being an assembly language person I am not interpreting very well the tons of diagnostic messages that these assemblers provide. Do I need another assembler? Or do I just need to know how to massage the source code? I have tried to contact Michal Jaegermann (mj@myrias.COM) but have been unsuccessful. Since I've been a successful user of etrnl2, I would appreciate to get etrnl3 to work. Otherwise, I'd love to hear about RAM disks that work on Mega 4 Sts. For the moment I am using the non reset-proof SI_RAM desk accessory. Thanks, -- Ralph P.

It claims to support up to 4 MB (could not test it with a 1 MB unit only :-(), is reset-resident and configurable. I just looked through the index of the panarthea archive server but it is not there. If there are enough requests I could post it. -- Dipl.-Inform. Rainer Klute klute@irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.
