(The line eater got the beginning of my previous posting.  Sorry.)
I have added an Everex RAM3000 memory expansion board with 3 Meg to my
Hyundai 286C.  I would like to have part of this board as a ramdisk for
my own uses with the rest as LIM memory for those programs which can take
advantage of it.

My DOS (MS 3.3) came with an install utility to install a ram disk and/or
EMS, but it seems unhappy when I try to do both.

What is the difference between the vdisk.sys and ramdrive.sys?
Is what I want to do possible?  Is installation order crucial?  Do the
absolute addresses matter?  Do I really not understand?  (And what about
Naomi? - sorry).

Please reply direct to me if you feel that this has been re-hashed too many
times, or post if you think it's of general interest.
