	If you ever accidently "eject" the ram disk it can be re-inserted with
a simple utility.  To make the utility:

	- Copy "ramstart" to "RAM insert" (or whatever name you wish)
	- Using the resource mover, cut out the resource "DRVR" including
	  "ID=10 .ramdisk" from "RAM insert".  This will leave only the
	  "INIT" and "CODE" resources.
	- That's it!

To "re-insert" a RAM disk, just insert a floppy containing "RAM insert" (and
a bootable system) and run "RAM insert".
