It seems I created a tidle wave with my question about VD0:
Well I have come up with a solution to my problem.  It seems 
like others should have also had this problem, but no one suggested
it in their replies to me.  When I don't run setpatch, my ram disk
is fully recoverable even after commercial games that seize the
machine.  But when I do run setpatch there is no hope.


My NEW question: Is setpatch 1.34 REALLY necessary? Is this the latest
version. My version of kickstart is 34.5 and my version of workbench
is 34.28 if this is any help.  I really want a recoverable ram disk.

Here is a new and interesting twist to my problem.  I have adram 540
for the 500 which is populated with 4 megs.  It fits where the A501
would go.  Now 2 megs of it is autoconfig.  The other two megs can
only be recognized if I run an included program called adram.
Now if I run adram I will never have a recoverable ram disk.  Anyone 
know why?

I'm tired of things not working and of Guru's.  Commodore is trying my
patience.  Of course it's just like our country.  I love the country
but hate the government.  The government and Commodore both have their
heads up their *sses.  How about a little quality control for our computer?
If something sucks or doesn't work right, Don't release it.  It only
hurts the image of our computer.  And image is everything.  Our 
computer may be great, but no one except students, profs, and engineers
know that.  Apple and IBM have the ignorance of the masses behind them.
