This is a recoverable ram disk that I got from a disk magazine.
According to the docs for this thing, it is freely distributable, so
if this is not the case, someone please correct me.
At any rate, I have this little gem installed on my A3000. Works under
1.3 and 2.0, and I have had no trouble at all with it (about two months
of use so far). The only "trouble" I had with it is it wasn't a whole
lot speedier than the normal RAD: device. So I fooled with the mountlist
a little, and now it is measuring very high (about 4.5 or 5 megabytes per
second) on DiskSpeed (your mileage may vary -- this is a A3000 I'm
basing these numbers on).
The supplied file "montlist" is the original one from the creators of
this software. My mountlist entry follows:
/* an example of a ramdisk using the FastFileSystem */
Fast:
Device = ramdisk.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 7
Surfaces = 4
BlocksPerTrack = 16
Reserved = 2
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 32
Buffers = 1
BufMemType = 5
Mount = 1
GlobVec = -1
FileSystem = l:FastFileSystem
MaxTransfer = 65536
DosType = 0x444F5301
BootPri = -128

Have fun. If there are problems, contact the authors (see the other doc
