- Consider it done!

- /* $VER: RAD 40.1 (31.8.93)
- *
- * Recoverable RAM disk mount entry
- *
- * You can create different simultaneous recoverable RAM disks by creating
- * versions of this file with different Unit values.
- *
- * The size of a recoverable RAM disk is controlled by the value of the
- * HighCyl line. Increasing this value by 1 consumes an additional 11K of
- * RAM. So the default value of 79 consumes around 880K of memory.

- Flags = 0
- Surfaces = 2

- Or rather their not (LowCyl, HighCyl), maybe 'cos I'm using KS 3.0?
- Dostype sets it to FFS International
- Activate = 1 sets device so Icon appears before being used (as other disks?).
-
- Hope this is usefull.
