RAM Disk
RAM Disk: XMS/EMS RAMdisk v1.9i 16-bit DOS TSR [74 KB, freeware] or XMS/EMS RAMdisk v1.9i with installer/uninstaller for Windows 9x/ME [114 KB, freeware] improved Microsoft RAMDRIVE.SYS replacement for MS-DOS 5/6 + Windows 3.1x/9x/ME.
Creates, loads + resizes RAM drive (up to 2 GB) from AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS or native MS-DOS.
Does NOT shift drive letters.
Includes 2 separate drivers:
- XMSDSK.EXE = loads in extended RAM (requires an upper/extended memory manager like HIMEM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS).
- EMSDSK.EXE = loads in expanded RAM (requires EMM386.EXE with the "RAM" switch or any other 3rd party expanded memory manager in CONFIG.SYS).
Uses 688 Bytes of upper DOS RAM if loaded with LOADHIGH in AUTOEXEC.BAT (upper memory manager required in CONFIG.SYS). Example using E as RAM drive letter:
LH C:\RAMDISK\XMSDSK 32768 E: /C1 /T /Y
/T = use extended (XMS) RAM from top in a contiguous block: A MUST!
IMPORTANT: /T MUST be used with ANY 16 MB or larger RAM disk, otherwise Windows 95/98/ME does NOT properly initialize IOS (Input Output Subsystem) and RMM (Real Mode Mapper) fails to load. As a consequence LFNs (Long File Names) support will be DISABLED on the RAM disk.
See "BROWSER CACHE IN MEMORY", also in REGISTRY.TXT (part of W95-11D.EXE), for more info.

- SRDEMS.SYS = loads in expanded RAM (requires EMM386.EXE with the "RAM" switch or any other 3rd party expanded memory manager in CONFIG.SYS).
SRDISK.EXE resizes/uninstalls RAM drive(s) from AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS or native MS-DOS.
Uses 1 KB of upper DOS RAM if loaded with DEVICEHIGH in CONFIG.SYS or LOADHIGH in AUTOEXEC.BAT (upper memory manager required in CONFIG.SYS). Example:
