That's what I was hoping you'd say.  Unfortunately, the user groups I've
contacted didn't have it, and I can't locate any knowledgeable dealers in the
Houston area.  Granted, I only recently moved here, but the dealers I've
visited looked at me funny when I explained what I was after.  What's the 
chances of getting a copy from Commodore themselves, or failing that, the
address/phone of a dealer SOMEPLACE who knows what a 1700 Ram expansion is?

Is there anyone out there in netland with Q-Link access who already has this
program?  I'd be willing to send you a disk, return postage paid, or even
reimburse the download charges... I've really got to have that ramdisk
emulator.

Thanks in advance!
