- Did you also notice that the ramdrive is in conventional memory?
- Ok, the syntax is something like the following. Please forgive me, but
- I use DOS 5, so this may not work in all earlier versions.
-
- device=RAMDRIVE.SYS <size> </e> </a>
-
- where size is the size in Kb of the disk,
- /e specifies extended memory
- /a specifies expanded memory. (It could be /x, I'm not sure..)
-
- Good luck,
