Since so many people were kind enough to answer my plea for help I
thought I would post an update. I did some experiments:

My system is a 1040ST (really new), SM124 monitor, and a SH204 hard drive.

Experiment 1: I disconnected the hard drive and installed MWC for
	a single double-sided system. This worked just fine. No problems.

Experiment 2: Reconnect the hard disk, but continue to use only the ram disk
	and floppy. No problems.

Experiment 3: I used the hard disk in the following trials (the table
	indicates the location of the specified entity):

			Trial 1     Trial 2     Trial 3     Trial 4

C compiler and		floppy      hard disk   floppy      floppy
libraries

Temporary files		hard disk   ram disk    ram disk    hard disk

Source			ram disk    ram disk    hard disk   hard disk
			---------------------------------------------
Results of trial:	worked      bombed      worked      worked


I'm going to experiment further. I'd be interested in hearing the
opinion of Atari. What part of my system is failing?

		"Thank you for your support."
