JSI Tip 8186. The RAM disk enhanced.


In tip 3515, we configured a RAM disk.

Thanks to Warren C. E. Austin, here is a new RAMdisk.reg file that provide the ability to select an appropriate Icon.

Warren has chosen the old MS-DOS "IC" EEPROM icon, which was the default when using a RAM drive under W9x.

The new RAMdisk.reg file contains:
