The information you have supplied tells me several things:

1) You have 1 megabyte  of non-chip ram. Then you total ram disk size
   should not be 1 megabyte. Check the suggested HiCyl for a 1 meg of
   memory system.

   Remember, other things go into Fast ram besides the rrd!

2) Your problem  is  probably centered around incorrect max sizing of
   the ram disk.

3) However, there is the  distinct possibility that you have a bad ram
   chip somewhere near the  middle  of  your address space. Since 500K
   works fine, and you intimate that 600 does not, somewhere in between
   is either a bad  ram chip or where your incorrect sizing is getting
   you in trouble.

4) Are you a registered owner? Please become one. Thanks.
