Try this:

    System (boot) disk: Batch
                        editor
                        <anything else that seems nice>

    Other disk:         mmcc
                        mmlink
                        syslib
                        all the .h files
                        a ram disk starter

One can then have the ram disk starter put the compiler, linker, and
libraries on the ramdisk, freeing up the second drive for source
files.

Problems include the fact that a program under development frequently
crashes the system, and re-building the ramdisk is not exciting.

The ramdisk should be big enough to keep the linker happy.  You'll
notice that links are MUCH faster.
