Interestingly, a colleague at Digital Review with whom I used to work forwarded two routines to establish a RAM disk as mentioned.

Please note that I have *not* tested it (in fact, I haven't even had time to look at it) but I would be willing to forward to anyone interested. Let me know... Denis W.
