Thanks for the posting, Jim.

In order to use version 1.21 with the LaserWriter, you have to change
the driver resource id from 10 to something that is unused in your
system.  I used id 31.  To change the id using ResEdit:
1. Open up RamStart with ResEdit.
2. Open the DRVR window.
3. There will be a driver named .ramdisk.
4. Select .ramdisk and do a Get Info (not Open).
5. Change the id from 10 to 31 (or whatever).
6. Close, saving, etc.

Version 1.21 will work with whatever you set the id to.  I have successfully
printed on the LaserWriter running a system on the ram disk.

The symptom (for me) of having a conflicting id was that launching
RamStart would produce a blank desktop and just hang.
