I am having a problem with vd0:. I have a 4meg system, and I have a 3meg vd0: (no rad: is mounted). The following is in the Mountlist, VD0: Device = asdg.vdisk.device Unit = 2 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 1 BlocksPerTrack = 16 Priority = 5 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 403 Buffers = 5 BufMemType = 5 # Now the problem is that when there is roughly 620K left of fast ram, vd0: starts to save files to chip ram. And of course when the chip ram reaches 5K, I get the ASDG-RAM has a read/write error alert. And that leaves 620K of fast ram untouched by vd0:??? What I did was when the Amiga is powered up, I press the ctrl-d before it starts to mount and load anything. Then I mount vd0:, then start copying files to vd0:, watching the Fast and Chip ram settings from a utility displayed in the menubar. How do I fix this problem?
