	Odds are that you have the Apple RAM Card driver installed in 
your *:System:Drivers folder.  BTW, I don't mean the RAM5 one, the 
"Slinky" RAM driver.  It caused problems for me and my PCT RAM Card.  I 
wish Apple or someone else (HINT, HINT!) would either make a specific 
driver for it or patch Apple's to support the PCT.  One thing, I could 
use mine after I went through the two errors that appeared, and the card 
was FASTER.  I just didn't like having to put up with errors like that at 
startup...makes the system look "stupid" to other people (and I don't 
think it's that cool myself).

	Well, if there are any programmers out there and you want a 
little bit of cash from me, write a nice little driver (or a patch for 
Apple's) that fixes this problem.  I'm sure there are others who would 
appreciate it too. :)
