editor EDLIN):
DEVICE=RAMDRIVE.SYS xxxx /e
In addition the Microsoft RAM disk driver RAMDRIVE.SYS must be copied
from the MS-DOS system disk onto the MS-DOS drive C
For xxxx the size of the RAM disk �ust be inserted: e.g. 3072 for 3MB (these
3MB must be physically existant, of course, and be reserved as an extended

of course, also by switching off the computer
