I ran into the same problem and (fortunatly) found AppDisk at about the
same time. It is an application instead of an extension so you can start
it anytime including putting an alias in your Startup Items folder. You
set the size of the disk by setting the memory size in the Get Info box.
Appdisk has an autosave feature that writes the contents of the disk
back into the application file every x minutes. It's a $15 shareware
item from Mark Adams and it can be found at sumex.
