	I have a plain vanilla 520 ST, and a product I'd be interested in
is an external RAM disk.  Something I could hook up to the cartridge port
or DMA port that would appear to be another disk drive to the system, but
inside which would be just RAM, a couple of megabytes or more, presumably
cheaper than a hard disc, and quieter.  When I wanted to do some work, I'd
copy the files off of my floppies onto it at the beginning of a session,
and save 'em off at the end, just like any RAM disk.
	Anybody out there know if there's such a product already?
Regards,
Carl Weidling
