By reformating the partition back to ProDOS or telling the RamFAST to hide it, AppleWorks runs just fine. My setup is Rom 3, 5 megs ram, Ramfast (rev D, 1M, 2.01e), ZipGS, and Quantom 170S. (160M). A bug in System 5.0.4 that Todd fixed with Ziptalk, I thought would be fixed in System 6.0 appartently isn't. It's the problem of the pointer disappearing while being moved up the screen. At least Ziptalk still fixes it. Other than that I find it is a really COOL system release! Thanks DTS. A note to Ramfast owners. Since ProDOS 2.0.1 likes to map the extra partitions to other slot/drives and so does the Ramfast, there will be DOUBLES in the slot/drive list. Use ShrinkIt (P8 version) to see the mapings. A fix is to assign the first two partitions to the slot the Ramfast is in and let ProDOS 2.0.1 do the other mappings. -- ____ Y_,_|[]| Eric Mulholland {|_|_|__| ericm@sage.cc.purdue.edu //oo--OO ...!pur-ee!sage.cc!ericm
