Dave,
   I have just received system disk 5.0.2 at the office and have some
difficulty installing it on my IIGS.  I have a 512k system with 2 Apple 5.25
in. drives, an Apple 3.5 in. drive, an Apple UniDisk 3.5 in., an IBM(aargh)
Proprinter and an Apple 20sc Hard drive.  When I attempt to install the SCSI
driver and manager on my copy of the system disk, then reboot, Everything will
load as normal, then I get the message at the end of the boot sequence No room
to run Finder Error=$0004.  I reboot with system disk 4.0, go into the control
panel, look at RAM disk, and the total of both available and in use memory add
up to 511K.  I only have 2 DA's active under System Disk 4.0 (Digital Black [a
menubar clock] and Control Panel DA.  When I reactivate Floyd Zink's Memory
DA, reboot System Disk 4.0 and run Memory DA, it correctly reports that I have
512k of memory, but in-use memory and available memory only add up to 511K.  I
do not have any caches active.  Other programmers I talked to in the office
think that it is a rounding error, however, I had this problem under System
disk 5.0.  I can NOT add additional memory at this time due to department
budget constraints (my department's budget is shot all to you-know-where right
now).  Do you, or anyone in AIIDTS, or on the Internet have ANY ideas?
