There is an init that purports to give a 512KE this extended PRAM (it works by stashing the extra bytes in a resource in the system file on shutdown, and fetching them on startup, I believe.) I don't remember the exact name; something clever, like xparaminit. It's on sumex. If the extended PRAM is the problem, this init *might* fix it. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: {convex,uunet}!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 244-1765
