Summary: How do you run copy-protected software in a RAMdisk?


	Recently, I bought 2 Megs of expansion memory for my Amiga.  Although
it works well with unprotected programs and those which recognize expansion 
RAM, I want to use it on my protected games: Bard's Tale, Marble Madness, and
Balance of Power.  All of these games make many disk accesses which I hoped to
avoid by copying overlay files into a ramdisk (either RAM: or VD0:).  
	Unfortunately, these games are not based on a key disk system, so they
need to access the program disk to run.  How could I make these programs work
well with my expansion memory?

BTW, I already know about Facc...
