   [use of upper 384K as ramdisk deleted]

   Admittedly, this isn't a great speed-up, but I haven't any easy way to use
   my upper 384K for anything else.  Speaking of which, anyone have any ideas
   what I could do (for free) to utilize my 384K better than a Ramdisk?

There are device drivers that allow you to simulate EMS memory with
this 384K extended memory. Most programs recognize this ok and are
willing to use it. I used to do this before I got some other
applications that could use the upper 384K directly. Go looking on
local BBSs for EMS simulators...
