There is an init that purports to give a 512KE this extended PRAM (it
works by stashing the extra bytes in a resource in the system file on
shutdown, and fetching them on startup, I believe.) I don't remember
the exact name; something clever, like xparaminit. It's on sumex.
If the extended PRAM is the problem, this init *might* fix it.
