Hi folks,

        I'm experiencing difficulties with the Intersect Ramdisk.

A) System booting when writing to write protected floppy.
   Here's the scenario:

     I have a 1040 STF with 1 meg Ram and german TOS in Roms. The Ramdisk
   is loaded as accesoire. A write-protected floppy is in the disk drive.

     When I try to write to that disk, a alarm box pops up. When I remove
   the write protection and click "continue", the machine boots. When
   I simply click "abort", same outcome.


B) Ramdisk not releasing all the RAM when removed

     When I remove the Ramdisk, sometimes not all the RAM is freed again,
   so I have to reboot.

Any suggestions/help/hints to the above problems are greatly welcomed.
Also, pointers to the source of the Ramdisk program are appreciated.

Thanks
