Hidy Ho!!....

Was just able to bring Shapeshifter up for the first time with the
OS that's in the public domain.

Problem now is that it won't give me any memory above the largest
free hunk that I have.  I boot from  a clean OS diskette, as I am
REKICKing my 3.0 rom and PREPAREEMUL doesn't like that....the
rom image takes up the portion of memory that SS uses.

Any ideas?

	I was booting my external Mac HD under SS3 until my
internal amiga HD failed. When I got a new HD and restored the 
SS files, the external HD would no longer boot, but will show
up after booting from a filedisk.
	What could have changed? Is there something I should check
to ensure that the HD is bootable? Nothing changed with the SS
prefs or on the external HD itself.
	Thanks.

I use shape shifter also. my guess is that the max transfer settings on 
your internal drive need to be changed try (0x1fe00) assuming this is 
where you store the ShapeShifter program and Rom. The problem arises 
when shapeshifter tries to load the rom the hard drive goofs up. this 
happened me with a maxtor 7420AV hdd. Unfortunatly even the max transfer 
did not work on this drive replacing it with a seagate device cured the 
problem. Hope this helps you. ;-)

As the docs say, that's the way it is.  The Mac OS demands a contiguous block
of RAM.
