This is not completly true. Yes, there is a reset-proof ram disk for the Amiga,
it's called VD0:, and there is a resizeable one called RAM:. There is also
one called VDK: which is both sizeable and reset-proof! It expands and contracts
as you put things into it and delete things out of it. And it does survive 
a system reset. It's really handy, I use it all the time!
