Hi,
I am in serious need of a ramdisk, public domain or not, which will work
in my present configuration.
Autobooting Supra Hard Disk
Startup Batch File Processor Version 1.3 (available on GENIE and CS)
4 Patitions. (C,D,E,F)
I want to be able to have my STARTUP batch file processor STOP during
booting and:
Run c:\bin\ramdisk.prg?
Anyone who uses STARTUP is aware how this works, problem is that I have
not found a suitable ramdisk. Eternal insists on resetting the computer
every time it runs. (I don't need an eternal ramdisk, as a matter of fact,
I set my reset switch to do a cold start at bootup) I have INTRAM ramdisk,
but this one does NOT let me choose a drive selector above F.
So, I need a ramdisk that is:
1) Meant to be run at bootup. I will be happy with desk accessory ones to.
2) Allows one to choose WHICH drive identifier it uses, and use something
above F (like G or H).
3) Allows the user to set the size either when it is run in the AUTO folder
or by running a configram program. (like ETERNAL works).
4) DOES not reset the system when first run. (No reset-proof ramdisks).

5) Works.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

I have seen one called "FRAMDISK" floating around, seems like just the ticket.
It can be configured by placing a file called RAMDISK.INF in your root
directory. (Or something like that.)
