From article <4570@alvin.mcnc.org:, by raw@mcnc.org (Russell Williams):
: 
: 	I have a problem using the RAD: device with my Amiga 1000.  The system
: used to be a 756K amiga with the kickstart eliminator running 1.2 with a 1.3
: workbench.  When I got 1.3, I tried to implement the RAD: device on a modest
: level, around 30 cylinders, just to use it as a WordPerfect file backup.  It
: would mount successfully, but would guru when I tried to reboot the system.
: About now, most of you are probably saying "But you're using 1.2 kickstart!
: There's your problem!"  Well, I thought so too.  I just forgot about it and
: went my merry way.
: 	Then I purchased two megs of memory.  Now I could really scramble with
: the old RAD: device, so I bought the 1.3 kickstart upgrade roms from CMI.  I
: mounted a huge RAD:,  1.7 megs worth, and boom, it gurued again.  Every time
: I reboot, it gurus.  I can't figure out what it's doing now.  Has anybody
: else had trouble with RAD: blowing the system?

	Sounds like you may be doing the 'Addmem' before mounting RAD:. Note
that the first access to RAD: has to happen before doing the Addmem also. 
Once you accessed RAD: even once, the memory is allocated and you can go
ahead and add the KS memory with no worries.

: Thanks,
