On the shareware/freeware side, AppDisk, available at sumex, umich, etc., is
nice.  Nothing too fancy last time I had looked at it, but it's apparently at
least functional.  Commercially, there is Maxima, by Connectix, which is
supposed to be great.  It allows for addressing up to 128MB of RAM, plus a RAM
disk that can withstand restarts, shutdowns, and even crashes.  It's not too
expensive (between $42-$50 where I've seen it in mail order), and Connectix
usually makes some pretty neat utilities from what my friends tell me.

Hope this helps!
