If you have MWC version 2.0, you already have what you are looking for!

On the third disk (maybe the second one, I don't have them handy right now),
there is an archive file (MWC ar format) that has the source for a
configurable ramdisk that is reset-resistant.  It's every bit at good as
the eternal ramdisk, and you have the sources so that you can change
it anyway you want.  The only complaint I had with it was that it really
couldn't be used in your AUTO folder, but having the sources, I simply
fixed that :-).  If you are interested in these changes, I could send
you the DIFF's.
