I was the one who wrote the procedure that eventually ended up in the introductory posting. Everything you described sounds correct as I remembered doing it. And no, DO NOT CHANGE the unit number. It must be 0. That is why this entire cryptic procedure must be done, because C= was not farsighted enough to accept unit numbers for multiple RAD: devices. I did encounter the problem that is described. The case of the letters in the Device = ramdriv1.device must match the case of ramdriv1.device within the device file itself. It seems tha Mount finds the device to mount regardless of case and mounts properly. However, the device then checks that its name matches what it expects, case sensitive, and won't run if there is a mismatch. Check that the case of all changes you made to ramdriv1.device is all lower case. Also make sure you didn't accidently use ramdrive1.device instead of ramdriv1.device anywhere. Finally, its always helpful to have Mount = 1 in the mountlist so that the device is activated when it is mounted. An icon should show up in the workbench for the device at mount time. >monty >kosma@alan.kahuna.decnet.lockheed.com -- ---------- Lawrence W.
