After finally getting my hands on the 1.3 Enhancer package, I
discovered a strange system crash. After doing some extensive file
copying to and from the ram: disk(pity me, still making do w/ only the
internal drive!), the power indicator light began flashing its
fatefull message to me. I instinctively pulled out the Workbench disk
from my disk case and was utterly amazed when the screen showed the
hand holding the KICKSTART 1.3 disk! I put in Kickstart which loaded
ok and then Workbench, which also loaded fine. This scenario has
happened several times to me since switching over to 1.3- usually when
I do something that consumes alot of memory. (I have a 1000 w/ 512k.)
What causes this? Has anyone else experienced it? I thought Kickstart
was loaded into protected memory...what's goin' on?!?
