Hi Netlanders,
This may be a stupid question, so please pardon me if it is!!
Does anyone out there know if there is a problem in creating RAMDISK larger than
4MB. I seem to be having a problem creating one larger than 4MB.
I have a 386/33 with 8MB using QEMM386 v5.1 to convert the extended memory to
expanded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use two of them, one holds the swap area for PCTOOLS and also holds my frequently used programs (copied up from disk c in AUTOEXEC.BAT), the other is for data. Run them directly in extended, don't bother with expanded. Extended is faster.
