    Ramdisk on boot floppy?

    I want a good ramdisk and anything else that goes with it that will let me use at least 100mb of memory if that is possible to be setup from a W98 boot floppy.

    Anyone know one?

    A standard Win98 bootdisk has ramdrive.sys on it and loads it when you boot off of it.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    I believe the Win98 ramdrive is still limited to 32MB in size, but the Uberto Ramdrive link from here:

    http://www.geocities.com/politalk/rmdrv/index.html

    can utilise up to 2GB for a ramdrive.
