Message-ID:Date: 1 Dec 88 17:04:07 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 14 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?!? -GEA
