         meaning all the contents disappear once you reboot. Has this
changed, or am I misreading your message? Is a RAM disk no longer a *RAM*
disk?

No, you're right, you lose RAM drive contents when you power off.

My point was to allow temporary access to the HD without activating the HD's
Finder. The discussion I had followed mentioned that there was no way to
boot on other than the internal HD--that external Zip and Jaz drives were
not bootable. I was supplying an alternative. :-)
