	I also use AppDisk and find it more reliable (less strange behavior)
than with RamDisk.  I do seem to have one problem with it (v1.3) that I can't
seem to resolve, though.  Every time I run AppDisk, I can not shutdown the
computer correctly.  I think the error I get is -41 CANNOT FIND THE FINDER or
something to that effect.  The computer still lets me restart and then I can
shutdown normally (as long as I don't run AppDisk again).  I am running the
program on a macIIsi with System 7.01 and Tune-Up v1.1.1.  The problem occurs
even when all extensions are off and even before any of the Tune-Ups were
released.  By the way, I also have 9Mb.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?
