Can anyone recommend a RAMdisk program that uses extended RAM and does not lose its contents with a warm boot? The one I'm using does not use the newer extended RAM allocation schemes and therefore doesn't coexist with certain of the newer programs. (My RAMdisk is at least 5 years old and came with an old Orchid "turbo" card). Except for its problems with coexistence, I love it and wish I could find a more modern version whose contents could survive a warm boot. Any ideas?

The one I'm using does : Take a look at /pc/pd2/ram.zip. I'm not sure, but it just might be solve your problem. As far as I remember, you can use it to save the image of your ramdisk on the harddisk, and restore it from there at the reboot. ...................................................................

" 21157, HALCO, BRUCE" <abvax!iccgcc.DNET!halco@uunet.UU.NET> E-mailed me: I use RAMDISK.SYS as supplied with MS-DOS 3.2 with extended memory. It holds up just fine through a warm boot. --- Thanks for the suggestion. But my DOS (MS-DOS 3.3 OEM'd to Hewlett-Packard) must not be the same. I tried VDISK with the /E parameter and the resultant RAMdisk lost all its contents after a Cntl-Alt-Del. Must work differently in different versions. ...
