On the Atari ST I use, I have a ram disk which will survive a warm
reset with its contents intact. This is extremely useful when doing
things which are likely to crash the machine, as it saves having to
copy the ram disk's contents (e.g. compiler, editor) back from floppy
disk every time I hang the machine. Is such a thing available for a PC
or is there some reason why it would be difficult/impossible to do?
