>I'm totally stumped. My 5300c simply refuses to work with Ram Doubler. It >has its stock amount of real RAM (16MB soldered in), an upgraded HD (IBM >1GB), no PC cards, running MacOS 8.1.

Assuming your RAM card's seated correctly, try putting a space in front of RD so it loads earlier. As a CP in OS 8/9 (IIRC), it loads later as a CP. See how it goes elsewhere in the boot process (can't hurt).
