Anyone else running OS 9 with 112MB RAM, i.e., with a 96MB RAM chip? The only two variable that have changed since I was able to startup with an external OS9 volume is the addition of a 96MB RAM chip and the new Fujitsu 30GB drive. Drive Setup 2.03 is on the drive. The external OS 9 volume now also exhibits the same behavior.
I'm trying to figure out what the system is checking for before the extensions are loaded, as that's apparently where it's hanging. I'm thinking it's doing a memory check and hitting a wall somewhere. Thanks... >I've run my 2400 with OS9 using an external drive in the past.
