Perhaps if you were more specific about your problem rather than just
making ridiculous statements it would be easier to help you.

If you are running RAM doubler, there is a known problem with the floppy
drive which is fixed by a free upgrade to RAM doubler.

How much is RAMDoubler?
How much is real RAM?
How much (if you cost your own time) does it cost to "uprgade"
RAMdoubler and sort out the problems it costs?

[1] Well ok, there are *two* One True Memory Management Systems, now.

Only 2?

(1) Original 68K model
(2) PPC CFM run time environment (Classic and Modern Memory manager)
(3) 68K CFM run time environment (ugh)

Did you do a "Clean Install" of OS8?   Did you remember to turn off all
non-Apple extensions?

I have OS8 running on both my 8600 and PB3400 without any problems.  I
have also installed 12 copies of OS8 on various machines for a client
without problems.

OS8, when properly installed in accordance with the instructions, is a
highly stable OS.

<g>
I was classing (2) & (3) as the same.

My point is that I class XXXDoubler and other low-level hacks
along with fuel magnets & water softners.

RAM and disc (and even fast CPUs) are so cheap, it's not worth the
hassle.

Is there a fix for Disk Doubler too?
