I don't. The whole idea of a RAMdisk is that it is just that...
RAM. An external ramdisk would still have to go through the external
serial ports, and thus not be any faster than the AppleTalk fileserver.
(I don't think anyone will create a product like this that would not be
compatible with AppleTalk.)

Keep dreaming
