   Seems that one of the never ending items of discussion is RECOVERABLE
  RAM DISKS (RRD). Recently the issue of ASDG's VD0: and C00000 memory has
  brought RRD back onto the net. It has occured to me that some (most?) of
  you may not be aware of a different RRD that is available.

      1) VD0: - This is a program from ASGD and it is ShareWare.

      2) VDK: - This program is from Expansion Technologies and it is
                a commercial program. (It is also know as SURVIVOR)

  I have been using the VDK: program for several weeks now, and it has worked
 EXTREMELY well. This program is much easier to use and much easier to install
 than the ASDG VD0: program. VDK: works like the original RAM: in that it only
 uses memory as needed (IE: its always 100% full), and it was designed *NOT*
 to use C00000 memory. This means it works on ALL Amigas regardless of the
 type and amout of memory. I have FileZaped, EDited, ARCed, Compiled, and
 almost anything else you can do to abuse a RRD - with not one problem at all.
 If you have memory to burn, you can have multiple VDK's and really have fun :-)

 VDK: can be ordered from:

		          EXPANSION TECHNOLOGIES
		      	  46127 Landing Parkway
		          Fremont, CA   94538

  I still have not told you how much VDK: costs and your wondering how much,
 right? Well I saved the best part for last - total cost is $10.00 (US). For
 this low fee ($10.00), VDK: is one product that I can say is actually worth
 *MORE* than it costs.

NOTE:
  This information is supplied for the purpose of sharing my experence using
 VDK: and is FYI only. For further disclaimers please read my .signature :-)
