[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] need more help

Pardon me, I'm the fellow with a TT and little Atari experience.

1)  I'm still looking for a ramdisk that works on the TT.  Atari sent me
one without instructions, "external 2" gives me two bombs.
No ftp access.  Does anyone KNOW a TT-compatible one?

2)  I need to switch from using the CON:sole text output to using the
VDI routines.  How can I set the "background" color of the text (using
v_gtext to write text)?  What VDI command(s) will replace the scrolling
action of the console?  I couldn't find any "ScrollRaster" function.
And: how do I set the color of the screen that appears at the bottom when
you scroll up?  It always wants to be black (0).

3)  Are there any big problems in moving from MWC to Lattice (in case
anyone has done this already)?

Thanks, dear folks.
