Hello there. I have the following problem.

Here at CWI we recently obtained a LaserWriter.
In order to make life easier, I tried to use the LW with RamStart.
(by George A. Nelson, 1985, version 1).  I am able to get RamStart
working with a Finder, a System File, MacWrite, and LaserPrep and the
LaserWriter driver on the RamDisc.
Point is, when using the 'Choose Printer' DA to select the LW, an empty
box showes up. Trying to select/deselect AppleTalk, results in a halt of 
the machine, all I can do is move the mouse. If I also put the ImageWriter
driver on the RamDisc, then that one does show up.
I tried different sizes of the RamDisc, with and without MacWrite, the Laser
files, etc, but none of them seem to work.
What strikes me as od, is that none of my attempts ended in a system error.

Does anyone have an idee? Does RamStart need to be modified to support 
the LW? If so, is such a RamStart available, and where?

Thanks in advance,
--
