   So... do you have a RAM drive (memory expansion card) configured in your Slot   
   7? If not... sounds like a BW bug. If so, try disabling it, and see if the   
   problem still occurs.

   Virtual ][ doesn't support "Slinky" memory expansion cards, so you presumably   
   don't have a RAM drive in Slot 7.

   regardless of whether I click OK or Cancel, it continues to load but then   
   freezes just as the new word processor page displays. There is no flashing   
   I-beam cursor and mouse    
   and keyboard are frozen. It's totally locked up.    
      
   It would be interesting to drop to BASIC.SYSTEM and see if Slot 7 Drive 1   
   behaves there, or if this is a red herring. Put BASIC.SYSTEM on your disk   
   image, invoke it, and at the ] prompt type: CAT,S7,D1   
      
   It could also be interesting to see what devices ProDOS thinks you have. Try:   
      
   CALL-151 (at the ] prompt)    
   BF10.BF3F (at the * prompt)   
      
   BF10..BF2F are the device driver entry points (slots 0...7 drive 1, followed   
   by slots 0...7 drive 2).    
   BF31 is the number of devices, followed by the device unit numbers.    
   If you have a Slot 7 Drive 1 device then I'd expect BF1E /BF1F to have $C7xx   
   and there to be a $7x device unit number in the list.    
      
   FWIW, I configured a //e system in MAME (using Ample) with a memory expansion   
   card in Slot 7, booted into A2D, launched BW, got the prompt about copying to   
   RAM, selected OK, and everything seemed fine.

   We fixed that a while ago. It's unclear from the repro steps given if A2D is   
   necessary or a distraction. Glad to hear someone's trying alpha48 though!
