I would like some feedback on this:  Why yes, Why no...

I would love to have the little red busy light/s on my drive
light up when my ramdisk is being written or read.  Since the 
busy light is independent of drive-startup and can be turned on
and off fairly easily, this shouldn't be too hard to do.

Con:  might look like accessing floppy, but then motor should not
      be on, so should be distinguishable.

Pro:  Ramdisks function invisiblely.  That makes me nervous at times.
      I like to have some sort of indicator.


Suggestion:   Maybe the light could blink or something.


Warren
