Not all .SDK archives unpack to ProDOS volumes, particularly 5.25" 140K
disks.  I find it helps to have 1 box of blank 5.25" disks for such
problems.

As to adjusting RAMdisk sizes, I haven't succeeded in setting my (ROM
01) GS's /RAM5 to a 140K volume yet.  It jumps from 128K to 160K on the
Control Panel.  Probably have to fiddle with the memory to get an
intermediate size, eh?
