I was experimenting with rad: the other day and I decided to try to
enlarge it to floppy size highcyl=79 to see if I could play RocketRanger
with one disk in ram. I changed the mountlist, and cold rebooted. When
the workbench came up, I entered the shell, and said mount rad:, I then
tried to cd to it, and was told it wasn't there. I tried several experiments
which lead me to conclude that the default rad: (highcyl=27) works, and that
setting it to 79 doesn't. I am begining to wonder if rad: requires contiguous
memory to operate. I have 1-1/2 meg distributed as 3 banks of 1/2 meg each.
Mergemem says they can't be merged (There at $0meg $2meg and $Cmeg). Can
anyone confirm if rad: needs contiguous memory? Or is there another
explanation?
