The VDSK program generates a single fixed size electronic disk that
eats up part of your 640K address space.  If you do a ctl-alt-del,
the disk contents are lost.

The Tall Tree JFORMAT program can generate multiple electronic disks
(C:, D:, whatever) of arbitrary sizes.  It can use any kind of add-on
memory, but if you use the Tall Tree memory board, JFORMAT can make
electronic disks out of memory that doesn't count towards your 640K,
so for example you can have 640K of program memory and a 1 megabyte
electronic disk at the same.  The size and number of electronic disks
can be changed without rebooting and the contents of electronic disks
are not lost over a ctl-alt-del.
