In a Win95/98 environment, RAM drives are seldom used because Windows uses all available memory. Reducing the amount of available RAM by making a RAM drive will mean that a swap file will be required sooner. However, if you want to use one, then you must load ramdrive.sys in the config.sys file. Example config.sys Device=c:\Windows\Himem.sys Device=c:\Windows\Emm386.exe NoEms Dos=High,UMB DeviceHigh=c:\Windows\RamDrive.sys 32767 /E This creates a 32Mb ramdrive in extended memory. The size of the RAM drive in is Kb. Valid values for are from 4 to 32767 or amount of memory available, whichever is less. (Default is 64). The /E switch creates the RAM drive in extended memory. For RAMDrive's to use extended memory, the system must be configured so that it provides extended memory via the Himem.sys device driver. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
