How do all?
After getting the SE30 and IIfx online with ppp, I think I've managed to
get a fairly stable set up with iCab. I've fiddled with modem and browser
prefs., and I followed pickle's advice (thanks!) and have mounted RAM
disks.
I tried ramdisk-3.24 first. With the SE30 (68mb RAM, OS 7.1) I can load the
entire System Folder together with iCab and Eudora on the ramdisk at
startup. The IIfx (32mb RAM, OS 7.5.5) on the other hand didn't like that
app, and variously crashed, bombed, and froze with any ram disk larger than
4000k or so.
Finally dumped ramDisk and ran Norton on blackbird's drives, it reported
to have fixed several errors in the disk structure/addressing but a few of
files couldn't be repaired. So I trashed them, but the @#$@% things won't
go when I dump the trash !
If other items are in the trash, they are deleted, leaving two stubborn
ones. (*while double checking just before posting this, I was able to
delete two of the files...?!... two remain....
- when putting the individual files in the trash I get the error message :
"You cannot move the selected items to the "Trash", because it
cannot be found."
-if I put them in a folder, I can move the folder and files into the trash,
but when I try to empty it, there is no movement in the of the deletion
progress bar. The window's stop button functions normally.
* Any way to get rid of them short of wiping the drive.?
Since cleaning things up (apart from these two files) I grabbed AppDisk
1.6.1 and followed Gamba's set up brief, and I've got a 16mb RAM disk
happily mounted on the IIfx with iCab's cache loaded there.
* Is it desirable to load the sytem and/or browser applications in the ram
disk if there's enough room?
* What size is good for the System cache? ( with or without RAM disks...)
