Hello All, 


Is there a DOS 5.0 compatible RAMDRIVE equivalent capable of creating ram
drives greater than 4M? I have a need for a ram drive that is as large as my
system memory (16-64M). Any ideas?

thanz

Gary

The MS-DOS 5.0 manual is incorrect.  The version of "ramdrive.sys" distributed 
with DOS 5.0 will create RAM drives larger than 4096 kb (4 MB).  A few months 
back, I was using a 12 meg RAM drive created with MS-DOS 5.0 "ramdrive.sys"
