Allow to put in a plug for SRDISK, a truly wonderful ram disk program
written by Marko Kohtala.  Available at all your better archive sites.

The current version provides, among other things, a neat solution to the
recurring problem of DISKCOPYing between diskettes of different formats.

Highly recommended.

(Oh, did I mention that it support RAM disks of up 128M?)
