Since a few weeks I'm the proud owner of a 512k mac (my chip price was $11 - 
it seems that you can buy them for $5 now!). I use the memory
mainly for setting up the ramdisk (320k). (btw, I don't agree with the
review of the ramdisk in the march issue of Mcworld; I have a single disk
Mac and the Ramdisk solves 80% of the swapping problem, plus has a number of
other advantages - fast Mcwrite prints; fast launch etc)
Now to end the good news, I have sometimes the following problem:
I bring up the system with a startup disk, which creates the ramdisk
(startup application).
I execute SWITCH to make my ramdisk the boot-disk, and eject the startup
disk.
All's fine until now.
When I enter an application disk (without system and finder), and execute a
program from that disk, its still fine.
After quiting the program, I eject the application disk and throw the dimmed
icon away. 
Now sometimes (don't know why and when), when I enter a new disk, it is not
recognized by the finder. Nothing happens!
All I can do is eject the disk with SHIFT-CMD-1 and reboot the system since
it seems to be non-repairable.
Has anybode seen this problem? Does anybode know the reason? Does somebody
know how to solve it?
(btw, I use the IW-15, and a number of new DA's:
Mousomtr,MiniFndr,Idle,Extras,KeyCaps,HexCalc,Glass)

Thanks for any help!				Jaap.
