Ted,

Sorry so see you had problems with my ramdisk running on a CoCo. Since seeing
your message, I have tried ramdisk on my machine with cron and had no
difficulty.

I wonder if it is in the CoCo's implementation of F$MapBlk or F$ClrBlk or in
you version of cron. I the cron I have is by Pete Lyall and is downloaded from
here. It is edition 5 and has a size of $38D and a crc of $A6D46E. It
recognizes in turn /r0 and /dd. It also looks for /nl or /nul to dump its i/o
to/from.

If you could provide more information, I could try and run down why ramdisk did
not work on your CoCo with cron. (Did you have /nl or /nil in memory?)
