Excuse me, but I didn't realize there was anyone out there running a Vax on floppy disks. W H Y would anyone want a RAM disk on a Vax? It seems to me that if you need more disk speed ?!?!? you should increase your cache, NOT make a RAM disk. (FLAME OFF) We have up to 30 users/disk on two disks during the day on a 785 and have no slow down due to DISK speed. If your problem is in BACKUP, try using a /BUF=5. This will increase your buffer size between the tape and disk and will speed it up appreciably. If this isn't the problem, please try and describe it more clearly, and maybe someone on INFO-VAX can help. ----Russ russ@sp@ohio-state.ARPA The Ohio State University Department of Electrical Engineering "Virtual Address eXtension, is that like a nine digit zip-code?"
