According to every book on the subject I have ever seen, the standard Ram Disk
software for the PC, "VDISK.SYS", automatically uses the highest memory that
MS-DOS knows about for the buffer area. It won't put it into extended memory,
but it'll put it just under the 640K mark which should leave your fast 256K
alone. The source to VDISK is published in one of the IBM manuals.
