- I tried adding MountBBGRam to my GEOS Backup System Disk. Then I tried making
- a gateWay boot disk. The screen "clears" and then locks. So I get even less
- than I did before. Does anyone have Performance Peripherals e-mail address?
- Since they say BBG will work with gateWay, they should be able to help more than
- CMD, since CMD doesn't know about the BBG's workings (thanks for trying though,
- Doug).

- Thanks.
