I finally managed to locate and purchase a 1750 REU for my C128, which
wasn't easy.  All the vendors who don't have it claim that Commodore
has discontinued the product.  Any truth to this?

I seem to recall some discussion on the net about RAMdisk software being
available for the REU's.  Does anybody remember where/how to get it?  I 
also seem to vaguely recall that such software is supposed to be on the
disk shipped with the unit.  Not true in my case.  All I got was one
disk - one side is CP/M 3.0 (which recognizes the REU as drive 'M:'); the
other side contains a RAM test and some demo programs, but no RAMdisk.

By the way, CP/M becomes a whole lot easier to use if you copy the entire
CP/M disk into the 1750.  Since drive 'M:' is all RAM, it is *fast*.
