I just installed Landon Dyer's PD ramdisk tonight. It works admirably, but
I thought I'd pass along some installation tips so you folks don't waste as
much time as I did. The instructions say to assemble, link, and relmod the
program. Do just like he says, but for the link, do something like:

link68 [u] ramdisk.68k=ramdisk

This will link the ramdisk without the GEM or desk accessory stuff. It won't
work with that stuff included. I discovered the problem when I used a public
domain "cc" program to do everything, and it assumed I was linking a normal
program which needs all the GEM junk linked in. The linker whimpered about
_main being undefined, and the program got two 'shrooms when I tried to run
it. I got the same results when I tried to link in the desk accessory stuff.
Landon's program doesn't need all that stuff the rest of us mortals take for
granted.
