Early systems, designed for floppy disks, had the ability to re-assign the system from one drive to another. That is you could copy everything over to the RAM Disk and then tell the System to use the RAM Disk System. From then on it uses the RAM Disk System, Finder and other files. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
