For once I'll make a "me too" posting.  I have exactly the same
software problem because ramdrive.sys gives an error when one goes
beyond a 4K ramdisk.  Now if anyone has a shareware or PD utility
that goes beyond this, I would like to solicit an upload to garbo
archives.  Both to make it publicly available and to have it myself. 
The ramdrives on the our and SIMTEL20 file lists are mostly old, and
the ones that I tried were of no help.  Incidentally, we will be
contacting the supplier of my office PC with the same question.  (I
had 8 Mb installed just this Friday, and we noticed the same
problem.)
