Description by publisher
help for running them, just type: XMSDSK (or EMSDSK) /?. You can use
them on 286 or upper CPU (use EMSDSK86 for 8086). Once loaded they
require about half a Kbyte.

You can resize the disk (down to zero, or up to 2 Gbytes) at any time and
so regain memory for another usage. This is possible on DOS command line
but not under Windows because of virtualization. The transient part of
EXE will calculate all parameters for the new disk (it uses the same ones
as MS-DOS for hard disk, so they should be convenient for all cases).

Special requirements: XMS or EMS driver, 286 or upper cpu (use EMSDSK86
for 8086 cpu with EMS).

Changes: Adds option /c to specify a cluster size.

This is a *really* nice ramdisk program. I've been using it for years for complex DOS bootdisks, but I'm having real problems lately because it doesn't work if a machine has more than 2GB RAM. 2GB is the average for new machines these days! Many people the world over would thank the developer if he could dust off the code to get around this problem. Even only recognizing 2GB would be fine as no self-respecting DOS user would need more than that.

A breeze to install and setup. What more could you want?
This little gem rocks the house!
Using it to cache web pages is way too awesome. I've never seen a browser load pages so fluid. What's better is once you're done browsing, all is wiped clean from memory instead of a hard disk. All my customers are totally blown away by this little ap. A++++++++++++++++ product!!!

Way to go Franck!!!

I was doing a project for school, and I was trying to setup up a ramdrive on my dos boot disk. Durin my search on how to get a ramdrive to work, I came across this software.

It's amazing. I was able to setup a 64 Meg ramdrive in less than 5 minutes. I am so happy.

Mr. Uberto you are a genius in my books. Thank you for writing this wonderful piece of software.
