Hmmm... since P8 doesn't use the RAMFAST.DRIVER, I'm wondering if that 
could be the source of your problem. Try re-installing the driver to your 
System folder and see if that does anything.

Do you have any volume repair utilities (like ProSel-16's) that can check 
out the directory structure of the volumes that don't show up in Finder? 
It would be helpful to know if they also didn't show up from ProSel-16.

If you have a tape backup or (I think) another hard drive you can use the 
built-in RamFAST backup program. It does an "image" backup (as opposed to 
"file") that will keep resource forks intact. I don't think the RamFAST 
backup works with floppies.
