Hi,

   I am in serious need of a ramdisk, public domain or not, which will work
in my present configuration.

   Autobooting Supra Hard Disk
   Startup Batch File Processor Version 1.3 (available on GENIE and CS)
   4 Patitions. (C,D,E,F)

   I want to be able to have my STARTUP batch file processor STOP during
booting and:

Run c:\bin\ramdisk.prg?

   Anyone who uses STARTUP is aware how this works, problem is that I have
not found a suitable ramdisk. Eternal insists on resetting the computer
every time it runs. (I don't need an eternal ramdisk, as a matter of fact,
I set my reset switch to do a cold start at bootup) I have INTRAM ramdisk,
but this one does NOT let me choose a drive selector above F.

   So, I need a ramdisk that is:

1) Meant to be run at bootup. I will be happy with desk accessory ones to.
2) Allows one to choose WHICH drive identifier it uses, and use something
   above F (like G or H).
3) Allows the user to set the size either when it is run in the AUTO folder
   or by running a configram program. (like ETERNAL works).
4) DOES not reset the system when first run. (No reset-proof ramdisks).
        ---
5) Works.

   Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
