No wonder why you're satisfied with the MS's proprietary ramdisk driver. :-) AFAIK, though I never used MS's one, it has a few limitations such as the size limit of 32MB and being identified as a "Ram Disk", not as a (emulated) "Hard Disk". But, they seem no problems for your usage. BTW, those I linked overcome these limitations. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
