[comp.sys.amiga] Recoverable ram disk

hansb@ariel.unm.edu (Richard Harris PSYCHOLOGY) (05/16/87)

I need a copy of the recoverable ram disk program.  If you have it,
please mail it to me on the network.

Also, where can I get the program for VD0:??  I have heard about it on the
network for quite a while, and I would like to know more.  Is it pub domain,
or is it commercial?  If it is pub domain, could somebody send me a copy?

Thanks in advance...

Help!  I have an A500 w/a A501 ram expander, for a total of 1 meg main memory.
I wanted to create a rad: of size 440k.  So, I went into MountList, changed
HiCyl to 39, mounted it ok, but when I referenced it, no icon came up on
workbench.  Also, when I tried to 'cd' to it, I got the message "can't find
device rad:" or some such.  When I change HiCyl back down to 21, everything
works fine.
  I suspect this is caused by the fact that when I try to mount it, I don't
have a contiguous 440k memory segment available, but it says nothing about
this in the docs that I have.
  Can anyone confirm this?  Is there a way of working around this (besides
buying more RAM :)?

Thanx for any and all help,	|   /\  /\  /\/\  /\	Hi, my name is Cliff.
