Hi Jim,

I also had an Amiga, and I also installed a RAM drive on my PC, and I also
use Win98.. I browsed the net and found the only program that will work.. I
think.. It's a small freeware program that activates from Dos.. Here:

http://www.thetechzone.com/downloads/ram_drive.zip

Of course this will reduce your available RAM for other purposes. Complete
instructions are in the read me file (and please read it) but it's not so
complicated.. Here is a line I added to autoexec.bat :

c:\progra~1\ramdrive\xmsdsk 25600 J: /t

25600 is the size of disk.. But beware - and this is quite important! - that
I assigned "J" as my RAM-drive letter, because I already have used A, C, D,
E, F, G, H, I to harddisks etc.. But you probably shouldn't do that. You
should use the letter that comes next to *your* last used drive.. Otherwise,
your Windows will freak out and it's difficult to make it run normally ever
again.. Apart from that, I found no problems with the program.

Regards,
Hugo
