[fa.info-mac] RAM Disks

I have been using the RAM disk that comes with the LISA development
system for several weeks.  It appears to be bug-free, unless you
consider the fact that you can eject it a bug (I have ejected it several
times by accident, thus losing everything on it!!).  It implements a
320K disk, which is big enough for a small system file and an
application.  MacPaint, MacWrite and MacTerminal all seem to work very
well from it, with really impressive speed-up as a result.  Some of the
bigger products now on the market (i.e. FileVision) won't fit.  Some of
the games available won't copy to it, which is too bad since they would
really fly if run on the ramdisk.          Tom Dimock
