I use RamStart 1.21, which was posted to the net, and it works fine as long
as you don't try to load the System file into the ramdisk automatically.  It
is the point where RamStart tries to purge unnecessary resources (INITs etc.)
from the System file that it bombs.  Other than that, it loads all files in
the folder it's in without a problem.

Assimilation has said they will come out with an update for their MacMemory
Disk 'soon.'  I have heard that it will work if you create a Temporary disk,
not a permanent one.

I haven't tried QuickDisk on my system, since RamStart is working so nicely.
