We just upgraded the 500 at work to a 3-meg machine.  Does really
nice things to the speed of things when you never touch the disk after
bootup.

Anyways, I wanted to try something -- make a larger RAD:.  It complained
when I changed the highcyl value to 120 -- "Not a DOS disk".  So I changed
it back to 79 and created a second RAD: entry, renaming it to RD2:, and
tried that.  Machine eventually crashed.

So -- is there anything I can do to obtain an extra 300K or so of
recoverable ramdisk space?  I've got memory to burn, you see.  I can just
use RAM:, but that doesn't survive the occassional crash or necessary
reboot terribly well.
