[for the line eater]

I have two questions to those in netland.

    1 - What has happened to MultiMac?  There was a small roar on
	the net for a week or so ... and then nothing.

	I have used it on a 512k mac with an external floppy and WOW!
	It is definitely better than sliced bread.  The problem is
	that it doesn't seem to work with any hard disks (other than
	the SCSI mod).  The local theory is that the system heap is
	not big enough for my MacBottom drivers AND MultiMac (29K
	which lives in the system heap).  [yes, I've tried making the
	heap bigger, but the mac bombs if it is larger than 60k].

	Note: the suggested reason for MultiMac working with the
	SCSI mod. is that J. Bass's driver is very small (and thus
	uses very little of the system heap).


    2 - Do the new ROMs from Apple allow you to set a larger system
	heap?  If so, has anybody tried the new ROMs with MultiMac
	and a hard disk?

PLEASE!!!  Somebody come to my rescue.  After having used MultiMac
	   I'm almost ready to give up my MacBottom [ALMOST, I
	   said].


				Thanks in advance
