 Hi,

 does anyone know the whereabouts of a RAMdisk driver that can re-use the
information previously stored in the RAM. I have a system with battery-backed
RAM where I want to be able to on re-boot have the RAMdisk check the BBRAM for
integrity and then if ok re-use the previous RAM files. All the RAM is in
extended memory on a 386. 

I would prefer a commercial utility but need all pointers/information.     


Failing that anybody know of any major restrictions to writing such a driver?

Replies via email preferred.

Dave.
