Thanks for the suggestion, but I have virtual memory turned off. . . I'm curious whether this is unusual behavior or not (that the hard drive spins up at times even when working in a RAM disk, and that command-control-shift-0 only works sometimes). I wonder about other peoples' 2400s and duos: when you're working in a RAM disk, and you awaken your computer from sleep (with no applications open), does your harddrive always spin up, as mine does? And will it stay spinning for several more minutes, even if you repeatedly try the spin-down command? Susanna ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
