- The suggestion below may sound silly, but it would work, if there is
- sufficient time between the 20Mbyte bursts.
-
- Fill the machine up with RAM (32 Meg) and create a 30M RAMdisk.
- Each burst would more-or-less fill it, but with enough time between
- bursts, you would not have any problems writing the data to a slow disk
- between the bursts.
