For some reason, after recompiling stuff (some things hadn't compiled properly at first) and rebuilding the paqdisk (it's now about 6.5MB), when I do "load ramdisk" xms completes but the ramdisk never gets written to the flash. This is all I see: xms: 6628492 bytes transmitted !
It looks like the ramdisk partition's size is only 0x600000, whatever unit that is. If that's in bytes, the newly created paqdisk is too large which could explain the problem. John
