So I load MemAlloc and then do RAMFSSIZE 512. The memory was allocated in the expected way but no RAMFiler_icon appears (only after I (tried to) alter the size of the RAM Disc with the Task-Display)! It only works right when the desktop wasn't already started (1. MemAlloc, 2. RAMFSSIZE 512, 3. desktop). Why does RiscOs behave in this way and how can I get the icon on the icon-bar? Please post it or mail me: S_JEKUTSCH@irav1.ira.uka.de
