Tom, Look carefully at the routine SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT.COM. There is some code in there which produces a MACRO program called SETSIZE. It is run to create a section of pool 512*(desired-blocks) bytes in size. The driver PDDRIVER then is used to init and mount this PSEUDO disk. The procedure neatly erases any trace of this when it runs, so when it exits, you do not know you had a pseudo disk at all. There is also an article in one of the VAX professionals on RAM disks for MicroVAXes. It should work for larger vaxes as well. I don't remember the date of the issue. I got it free at DEXPO in SF last year. Good Luck, Ron Tencati System Mgr, JPL-VLSI.ARPA
