Here's the latest version of Takayuki Karahashi's RAM disk, a simple, elegant, fully functional CDEV/INIT for creating a RAM disk. Its great for all you poor souls out there who, like me, have plenty of memory but still only two floppies and no hard drive. You just put a copy of it in your system folder, open the control panel, select the name and size of the RAM disk, close the control panel, and reboot. The RAM disk is installed automatically at startup. I have been using it with both Finder 6.1 and Multifinder 6.0.1 on a 2.5 Mb Mac Plus running System 6.0.2. N.B. - If you have RAM Disk 1.0 still around, replace it ASAP with the new version (1.1). Version 1.0 has a bug that can reformat anything in your external drive if you boot without a hard disk. Please spread the word about the upgrade to anyone else you know who uses RAM disk. The author can be reached at [75165,656] on Compuserve, or 75165.656@compuserve.com on the Internet.
