re: Laserwriter incompatible with Ram Start. 

There is a conflict between the resource id for driver "ramdisk" in
RamStart and ATP in the System (both are id 10). Now before I get flamed
(again) for this, let me explain. RamStart is not "installed" in the
System, so the resource id conflict is not resolved then. Also, RamStart
has code hardwired to use id 10.

The above applies to RamStart version 1. I think that the problem has
been fixed in later versions, but I don't have an executable for 
later versions, so I don't really know.  

Version 1 can be patched by changing the resource id for the driver and
locating the code that loads the driver.  Sorry, but I don't have the
patches handy. Your best bet is to find a newer version. I would like
one too.
