Actually it is possible to have RAD live in fast RAM, I always set mine up that way. You just have to change BufMemType in the dosdriver.

This is utter nonsense. Filesystem bufmemtype has nothing to do with memory type used for RAD.

Powering the system down for 30 seconds erases the RAD for sure.

RAD is supposed to survive reboot.

All I can say is it always worked for me, on more than one Amiga.

Your amigas have MEMF_KICK set on all fast memory then. In this case RAD is always in fast memory, regardless of what you do.

Setting bufmemtype to fast would allocate RAD in fast RAM.

No it does not. As I said already, bufmemtype has nothing to do with location of the RAD itself. It only affects the buffers used by the filesystem itself. And default bufmemtype of 0 is in fast memory already...
