A friend of mine is trying to upgrade his Mega 2 to four megs, but is having problems. Here's the deal. He plugs in the capacitors and sockets (I think this was probably a solder job). All the memory tests say that there's 4 meg available, but if he fills up a 3000K ramdisk, the programs past the first 2000K won't run. He's pretty sure that the problem is not with his MMU chip. Has anybody had any similar problems or an idea of how to resolve this one? If so, please e-mail a response. He would be eternally grateful.

He would be eternally grateful. This might be of interest to other net.users, so I am posting this to the group... The RamDisk that your frined is using is probably an ancient one - 90% of the RamDisks from the pre-Mega days break if you try to use them with more than 2.5Mb of memory. Try C. Johnson's HRAMDISK, it's a reset-proof ramdisk of the most excellent variety =:) -- == Adam G.

Try C. Johnson's HRAMDISKC, >it's a reset-proof ramdisk of the most excellent variety =:) Can anyone tell me where I can get C. Johnson's HRAMDISK? Is it public domain or shareware or something else like this? Thanks Dieter
