We have an application were the overall machine efficiency can be
greatly enhanced if some temp files are left on a ram disk. We
don't want to have to ask the unsophisticated user whether there
is a ram disk, and what drive it is. We also have little to no
control over the setup of their systems.

Is there anyway we can determine if there is a ram disk mounted
and what drive letter it is? 

We've tried using dos interrupt 1C, but the drive information returned
does not distinguish a ram drive from a hard drive.

Any other suggestions?
