Cheap 512k upgrades, RAM disk and C compiler question

	I just recieved my upgraded 512K Mac back from Mass Tech
they did a fine job, they even put in sockets for the 256K DRAMs!,

	It took exactly one week from the time that I entrusted
my Mac to the post office to get accross country and get upgraded until the
time  I got my Mac back. Total cost $499 + 3.22 postage.

	I highly recommend this outfit.  If you have a cheap source of 256K
DRAMs they will upgrade your Mac for only $150. They pay postage one way
they also give you a tool to take your Mac apart (about a 10 minute operation)
and a disk with a public domain RAM disk. 

Mass. Tech. Development Labs Inc.

(617) 448-3450  (call them first)

	Now that I finally have my 512K Mac I want to use the extra memory as
a RAM disk for the Manx C compiler.  

	My problem I transfered over the editor and the C compiler to the RAM
disk and then brought up the Manx shell.  However, when I inserted the Manx
Key disk the system hung.  Has anybody tried using the Manx compiler with a RAM
disk?  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could use a RAM disk and 
this compiler?

			Thanks in advance

[Aren't you hungry...?]

	One worry I have had about cheap upgrades is whether or not the Apple
software will recognize the memory's existence.  I have heard there are ROM
changes involved... Is this true?
