A couple of things on VD0: 1) When I mount it and get a directory of it, it starts up the device, and shows me how big it is and all the pertinant info in the INFO command data, but when I start putting stuff in it, sometimes I get read/write errors on it. What can I do to fix this, other than stop using VD0:? 2) If I define the high cylinder for VD0: to 1023 (the maximum), will it just make the largest ram disk it can and use that? Is there any way I could define a ram disk to be 1MB less than the available amount of ram? As far as I know, that highcylinder is the only way of defining the amount of space that the disk uses. I'd switch to VDK:, but that just doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't recover anything after a crash or reboot. Is the latest version available somewhere on new Xanth? Thanks.
