subject: Destination Mars running from a RAM disk

I've had problems getting Destination Mars to run on my GS using two
3.5 disks. I can get into the game and start playing it but when it
needs to access the second 3.5 to continue running it says it can't
find the file. I've printed out the documentation from Asimov and the
disk are set up according to that documentation.

So I decided to try setting up a RAM disk on my GS, since I've got a
4MB memory card installed, and use Flashboot to make it easier to save
the game and reload it to the RAM disk the next time I want to play. I
have the folder for Destination Mars set up exactly like the folder on
the HD image that I use with the Sweet 16 emulator. On the emulator
the game runs fine but from the RAM disk it will stay say it can't
find the files it needs.

Any one have any idea what I may be doing wrong? I'd really like to
play this game on the real Apple harware versus and emulator on my
Mac.

Thanks,
Dean
