I remember clearly that when I still had my 1230/4 with scsi that I reserved 88 Mb from the 96 Mb Ram for a buffer for MakeCD in order to keep the CDrewriter supplying the data ... I also un-lha´ed alost everything to Ram Disk when I wanted to test something, so no hassle with the harddrive. The only thing I did regret was that I couldn´t get Genetic Species in Ram because 96 Mb wasn´t enough ...
