     I have RAM disk software for my 640K AT&T 6300.  The easiest  way
to  initialize  seems  to  be  by using a diskcopy a: c: after bootup.
However that copies the hidden files and  COMMAND.COM.   Seems  to  me
that  at  least  the  hidden  files should not be necessary since I'll
never be booting from the RAM disk.  I've written a little program  to
turn  off  the  hidden,  system and read only bits from IBMBIO.COM and
IBMDOS.COM and then to delete them.  Anyone  see  any  problem?   What
about deleting COMMAND.COM?  bootup COM diskcopy IBMBIO IBMDOS
