W H Y would anyone want a RAM disk on a Vax? ... >>The fact that someone at DEC took the time to implement it and that it >>is used in STABACKIT.COM is, I think, an indication that there is a niche >>for it. We tried this out for fun once, and put a few small files in it that were referenced *thousands* of times per day. It was kinda like installing images, but for data files. It was certainly fast! :-) We always wondered what would happen if you put *lots* of memory in a system...set up the RAM disk...and then defined secondary page & swap files on it. Would the VAX disappear into hyperspace? Greg hamm@biovax.bitnet hamm@waks.rutgers.edu ------
