That's a nice feature. The only time I played around with RAM drives was in 
the old 286/386 era, with slow IDE drives. You'd create a little RAM disk in 
EMS to put command.com and a couple of utilities you used a lot, and use 
the rest as a cache. There was a sweet spot you'd have to find by taking 
cache RAM for the RAM disk.

Oh, the things we did when we had 4MB of RAM.  :)


.... What's up that way?
