I've just started trying to use the stiram print spooler and ramdisk
accessory that was posted recently.  I thought it was going to be the
answer to a lot of my problems but I'm having trouble with it, even when
it is the only accessory installed.  When the default size printer
buffer is installed, the printer just prints garbage--I would guess less
than one character in ten from the file is printed.  I don't really mind
about that though, the real problem is that when I remove the 300K
ramdisk it hardly ever gives me all the memory back--often just a few
hundred miserable bytes or nothing at all. 

My initial problem was that I could either have a ram disk or free
memory but couldn't change easily from one state to the other.  With
this accessory I frequently end up with neither! Has anyone else had
these problems?
