[comp.sys.sun] YA RAM-disk request

ji@walkuere.altair.fr (John Ioannidis) (04/05/89)

Has anybody been able to convince the RAM-disk example in `Writing Device
Drivers' to work with 4.0? (actually, 4.0.1_Export?) One would assume that
the poeple at Sun would have bothered to test their own code (but then
again, it might have worked with a pre-FCS version of 4.0.)

Anyway, no flames please about the utility of a RAM-disk. I know all about
them (I have sent some on occasion), but once you have 24M on your machine
you begin to wonder if you might speed things up just a little bit by
`abusing' some of them!

Thanks,
