As the gentleman who responded earlier said, you need to have the
file "HD20 Startup" in your system folder, with System 3.5 and
Finder 4.3.  I've been using this arrangement with marked success
for the past two years (I'm rather old fashioned -- haven't spend
the money on a Plus or SE yet!).

If you would like, send me a response and I'll give you my address 
so you can send me a disk and return postage.  I'll return the disk
with the aforementioned programs.  Beleive me, it REALLY enhances
your Mac 512!!!  (How do you think I've made it so long w/out a MB?)
