I want to set up an 800k partition on my RAM.

I have an Apple //c with 
1 Meg of memory on an AE Z-RAM Ultra II.
I want to set up an 800k partition so I don't have to buy an 800k 
Unidisk 3.5 at about $300(new).  Some people insist on ShrinkIt(ing)
a 3.5 disk as a DISK and not separate files.  So inorder for 
ShrinkIt to recognize an 800k drive in my RAM I need to know from
one of YOU out there if it can be done.

	I have the AE utilities that let me change the size of my
	RAM partition, but it only seems to do it in 64k blocks.
	At that rate I would need 12.5 64k blocks.  I don't
	think it can be done with the program PARTITION from AE.

A friend of mine on said he could get an 800k RAM partition on his GS,
but he did not know how to do it from ProDOS 8.

						Thanks for your time,
