Ray,
i think the problem lies with the fact that the RAM: device is really not a
device at all, bt a handler. It seems that there are a few idiosyncracies with
it, and often authors must have some sort of exception handler to take RAM:
into account. For instance, the name that RAM: is known by to Amigados is 'RAM
Disk', but don't ever try to do a DIR "RAM: Disk" unless you want a good chance
of having tea with the GURU.
CBM is supposedly going to fix all that in the next release though, so if you
write your workarounds properly now, they will still be good in the future,
when they release it, in about 1996
