Summary: RAM disk caveat

[]
Like John Ogawa, I just got my MWC v2.0 update and I
agree with most of his glowing remarks.  I also got
my compiler within 2 or 3 days of sending them a check.

The ram disk has a very sexy gem interface which makes
it easy to configure and use.  Be warned, however, that
it only works with ROMS dated November 1985 or later.  I
have been unable to load the mwc ramdisk and I suspect
that this is  my problem.  In the meantime,  I continue
to  use the Bob Locanto non-volatile RAM disk and ram disk
loader, which has worked marvelously for me for the past
year.  Considering that such a great ram disk is available
in the  public domain, I don't consider the addition of a
ramdisk in the mwc package a tremendous selling point.
