It is quite flexible and lets you define the size of the ramdisk, the size of each sector, the number of sectors per cluster and the maximum number of filenames that the ramdisk directory can hold. The default values for the above are 160K, 512 bytes/sector, 1 sector per cluster and 64 filenames. The ramdisk is assigned the next available drive letter (C: if you do not have a hard disk, D: if you have a hard disk). The MEMBRAIN.EXE file is 3072 bytes long, but once you've used it to create the ramdisk, all you need is the MEMBRAIN.SYS file, which is only 655 or so bytes long. This file should be present on your boot-up disk, to create the ramdisk. You also need a config.sys file on you boot-up disk, that includes the statement: DEVICE=MEMBRAIN.SYS As far as I know, MEMBRAIN is freeware, in the public domain, as I've seen it on various bulletin boards, with no strings attached. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this point, as IT IS IMPORTANT! It might also be of interest to the community to know which ramdisk programs don't work on the PC6300. Perhaps someone could figure out why they don't work, and point up some fixes. ....arun. _______ _______ Suite HR1K228 / * \ _ / * \ all views are | * | / \ | * | 480 Red Hill Rd |* * H * *| <(GSP)> |* * R * *| my own, etc... | * | \_/ | * | Middletown NJ 07724 | * |Garden State | * | +-------------+ Parkway +-------------+ hou2d!xxajtxx | R E D |Exit 114 | H I L L | ..the future +-------------------------------------------+ 201-949-9127 |R E Q U I E M B Y T H E P A R K W A Y| lies in PC's +-------------------------------------------+
