Install the call in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=SETRAM.SYS and then type A>SETRAM F 100 for a 100K RAM disk or A>SETRAM F to clear it! So, the big question. Where can I get this stuff? Well, if I get enough response (more than 2), I'll post SETRAM and the other stuff sometime soon. Or, call 1-315-589-7361 (300/1200/2400 baud). You'll be connected to one of the world's largest DEC RAINBOW FIDO BBSs! 67MB of disk storage ON-LINE! (We'll not all of it is used).
