- Thanks for the hint, but it did not help in my case... WarpRam did run
- succesfully (as well as memory test programs like CheckRam and RamCheck), but
- memory above 16MB was still causing an immediate crash if attempted to be
- used. I even tried to start my machine without startup-sequence and copied
- files to RAM disk at Cli level, but still the same crash... So this problem
- must be either at KickStart level in the OS or then in the hardware...
- Does MacroSystems have any idea about these problems...? It sounds unbelievable
- that a product marketed such a long time could still have a design flaw like
- this...
