Thanks for all suggestions. It looks like RAM disk and CD-ROM drivers must be reconfigured after memory upgrade to 1.5 GB. After the follwoing lines have been marked out everything works fine. I will replace tdsk with srdisk. Any suggestions for cd-rom drivers, other than the obvious upgrade from shcdx33a to shcdx33c?
