In my quest to find the a better working environment for my 1.5 meg A1000, I


have come across something that appears to be useful.  Recoverable ram-disks.
But I have some criticisms of the currently available recoverable ram-disks...

RAD is very reliable, but I like to be able to resize my ram-disk on the fly,
and I will often delete stuff out of a ram disk in order to run another
program.  VD0: is ok, but it runs at less than half the speed of the others.
I have come across a version of VDK: , beta test, by Neil Katin, which is
automaticaly resizing, and faster than VD0:, but it has a lot of bugs in it.
Does anyone know where I could get a newer version of VDK?  Can you give me
an address to send mail to?

Is it possible to make a re-sizeable RAD: type device?  That is, something
more reliable than VDK:, as fast as RAD:, and possibly able to reboot like
RAD:, and able to diskcopy to like RAD?  Or, how about recoverable Resident
commands?
