Does anyone know ow to set up a RAMdisk in the LOWER 640K of the MS RAM? The manual says that because the upper 360K or 1.36M are configurable as RAM, RAMdisk in the lower 640 "is not supported". Sure enough, when I use PC-DOS 3.3 VDISK.sys in my config.sys file, nothing happens. What I am doing is adding the line device=config.sys 180 NO! CANCEL! device=vdisk.sys 180 to my config.sys file; my config.sys file is in Dl D; (i.e., the upper- memory RAM) and also I put vdisk.sys on D: Boot-up is set for C:, which means the machine reads the autoexec.sys and config.sys files on D: then command.com, etc., from C: Maybe I should try device=d:vdisk.sys ? I must say these miniSports have a lot of play value but I haven't done much word processing with mine yet.... Jeff
