I have both the 20 meg hard disk and the MW compiler.  I'm quite pleased with
both.  As far as ram disks go I had the same problems with trying to
install it as C D E or F.  These seem to be reserved for the hard disk in
some way (Magic?).  If you install it "anywhere" after F there are no problems
(provided your ram disk software lets you do that),  I have mine installed
as "M". 

The Mark W. stuff seems to be as close to a UNIX C environment as you can get
without UNIX.  It has a complete UNIX "MAKE" and comes with a version of
uEMACS that is quite usable.  If you put most of the stuff in a ram disk
most compiles are faster than on a VAX.  It also comes with all the GEM
stuff you need.  What they really need is a good debugger like "dbx".
I'd buy it again.
