Can anyone tell me how to use a ram drive with Windows 3.0? I have 16MB of extended memory and want to use some of it as a RAM drive. I've followed the instructions in the manual and it works for small ram drives, up to about a megabyte, but complains of a lack of memory for larger capacities. Thanks! Julian Smart
