JD >>Is this quirk with my clock common with all clocks in the Amiga line, or just a select few?<< I believe it is with all clocks used by the Amiga. Its not a common problem. Crashing the clock, requires that the software either has to be written to directly affect the clock (clock tester or editor), or the software must be so badly written that it trips over the clock. — JD >>Re the RAM disk, what about changing it to RAD:, with about 200k or so? would I still get the benefits of RAM, without the cons of RAM: ? Nope, you would get the cons of RAD, without the benefits of RAM… While the RAD survives reset, it is FROZEN in size. RAD, can't expand to hold larger files, and it can't shrink to free memory for running programs in. Other than dying during resets, the RAM-Disk is better than RAD. — If you want a recoverable RAM disk, than can shrink or expand, check the libraries for a third party alternative called "StatRAM" — it may be under the name of "STAT22.LHA". This static ram-disk, (SD0:), allows you to set a maximum size, but can shrink in size if the disk isn't full. It also allows you to format it with any of the filesystems (OFS, FFS, INT-OFS, DC-FFS, etc.) Ron. – ap'ing with AP. (Eagles may fly, but weasels aren't sucked into jet engines.)
