ramBunctious (SP??) does have a OSX version that works just fine! Check out version tracker to find the most recent version. However... I used to sleep my hard drive in OS9.x.x and use the RAM disk. Because of the design of OSX, the hard drive wont sleep while programs are running- a function of the Virtual Memory paging, so most of my reason for using the RAM disk is not valid anymore. Your needs may be different of course.
