BZZZT! Sorry.  Smartdrive is the disk caching software not the ram drive
that comes with DOS.  Pckwik PowerPak has a disk cache, and a ram drive
along with some other goodies.  Also, Hyperdisk is a disk cache rather
than a ram drive.  It may include a ram drive, though I'm not sure. I hope
I didn't introduce too much confusion.
