As usual, I only post something when I have a problem.  Anyway, here goes.
I recently installed the TOS ROM chips in my 520ST and then set up a 100k
"eternal" RAMdisk.  Everything was fine until I tried to run the drawing
program, NEO-CHROME.  An alert box appeared and said "The computer does
not have enough memory for the application you are trying to run".  This
is strange because NEO.PRG is only a 57k program and my Free RAM checker
desk accessory tells me I have almost 200kbytes free.  Besides that, a much
larger program such as STBASIC (140k) runs just fine.  Has anyone else
had this problem?  Did I screw something up when installing the ROMs?  Any
help would be GREATLY appreciated.  

P.S.  When I reduce the RAMdisk to 80k, NEO.PRG runs, but is buggy.
