I have both RamFAST rev. D and Cirtech Insyder with a 40MB integral =

drive installed. Insyder was working well until I updated to System =

6.0.1. It seems that the driver provided had some problems with random =

access text files bigger than 70K. I endured multiple and weird crash =

when copying such files from the Finder. No problem occured when copying =

from ProSel, though.

Being tired of those crashes, I activated the ProDOS link on the InSyder =

(it is recognized as  a ProDOS Block storage device instead of an =

extended smart port) and got rid of the InSyder driver. You can boot =

with both RamFAST and InSyder installed. GS/OS will generate a driver =

for the InSyder integral drive. Everything should work fine albeit =

copying files from the InSyder is very slow.

Does anyone know if somebody could update the driver provided years ago =

by Cirtech?
