That won't work for a RAM disk. >Also: any suggestions on RAM disk software? I'm using one from the info-mac >archives called RAMDISK 1.1. Use the better RAMdisk 2.11 from the same place. If you are running System 7.0 then sorry it won't work. It allows the RAM disk to take control and even boots up Multifinder if the files are copied across by it... But it still has problems : You need a boot disc for every single mac unless you do not have accounts for every single machine.
