Hi NetLanders,

I have made a RAM disk with DOS 3.3 VDISK.SYS in extended memory
and it works fine.  However, one of the programs that I ran kept
comming up with a "GETSEC error 11".  If I run that program on
a floppy disk, it works fine.  Anybody knows what kind of errors
I am running into?  Is there a difference (as far as applications
are concerned) between a RAM disk and a normal hard disk?

Thanks.  Please reply to this account.
