Wayne,

   I've got a RAMWorks III, and I found disk images for the
RAMFactor/RAMWorks/PCTransporter utilities.  Now, I've patched AW2 to
work with the RAMWorks III, and that works fine. But how do you get it
to work as a RAM disk for the rest of the system?  I went back to
using my RAMFactor because I couldn't get the RAMWorks III to work as
a general RAM disk...

I've also got an original 8-bit Transwarp, with 256k.  Isn't that
supposed to be accesible somehow, beyond the first 128k?  I've never
gotten anything more than the standard RAMdisk out of it...


Take Care!
