     Error $0051 is a "directory damaged" error.

     You can download the new FAQs Error List from ..

The file is named F001ERRLIST.TXT .

     This could be due to getting rid of the program (RAMFAST.DRIVER) 
which tries to use HS.FST to look at the disc in the CD-ROM drive 
connected to your RamFAST interface.

     You mention that you are trying to get discQuest going on your 
system. If you did a full install then your problem may be with the High 
Sierra FST file.

     The HS.FST included with discQuest was, at least in some dQ batches, 
not the correct HS.FST for System 6.0.1. The one included with dQ was 
dated Feb. 1992 (length =10,668).  The correct System 6.0.1 HS.FST would 
be dated May 1993 (length= 10,887).

     If your current HS.FST is not the correct version, overwrite it with 
the one from your System 6.0.1 diskettes. This may fix the problem.
