Are there any "non-volatile" ram disks for the ST.  In general, the way these 
work is that periodically (or on command) changes are flushed to a backup disk
file.  On power-up/reboot, the contents of the disk file are written to the 
memory disk.

On a semi-related question, is there any problem with keeping an ST running 
continuously?

Thanks.

John.
