A while ago I found that the RAD: device, while listed in the mountlist, does
not work on the Amiga 3000.  This is one of the luxuries that I had while I
was programming on my Amiga 1000 before I had a hard drive.  The RAD: drive
is the only device that would be faster than the hard drive, and it has the
ability to recover frequently when the system crashes.  I haven't worried
too much about it, and I haven't complained.  The only reinforcement that RAD:
actually does not work on the A3000 is in the AmigaDOS 2.0 manual from 
AmigaWorld.  In this book, it mentions that commodore left some file out of
the original distribution.  Well, is there somewhere I can obtain this missing
file, or will I never have a RAD: device to work on unless I go back to
Workbench 2.0?  Was there some other reason besides the possibility that
the file was simply left out?  Is it still being worked on?(!)
