              New Version 0.6!



     What is RamDisk98? 

              RamDisk98 is a Windows port driver that
          emulates as fully as possible the low-level
          functionality of a hard disk (up to 2GB!) or a
          1.44MB or 2.88MB floppy drive. 
          RamDisk98 supports much larger disks
          than Microsoft's ramdrive.sys (which is
          limited to 32MB) and the RamDisk98 drive
          can be compressed using Windows 
          DriveSpace.  For RAM disks configured to
          emulate a hard disk, RamDisk98 allows the
          user to select the drive letter for the RAM
          drive. 

              In addition, RamDisk98 can be
          configured to automatically load a disk
          image at startup and save the image to
          disk at shutdown, as well as to save the
          disk image at fixed time intervals.  This
          allows the RAM disk to function almost
          exactly like a hard disk - no data is lost
          when the power is turned off!  The ability to
          use RamDisk98 to load and save images
          automatically makes it a neat,
          self-contained solution to many RAM disk
          problems. 

              The boot sector of the RamDisk98 disk
          is complete enough to permit the disk to be
          made bootable with the sys command.
          RamDisk98 is the only RAM disk driver for
          Windows that allows you to create a
          bootable disk image in RAM!  This makes
          RamDisk98 an ideal tool for creating disk
          images for bootable CD-ROMs. 

              Because RamDisk98 creates a disk
          from system RAM, it is much faster than a
          conventional hard disk (which must wait for
          mechanical movement of the heads before
          it can read/write data).  RamDisk98 can
          speed up any application that does a lot of
          disk I/O - from database queries to web
          browser cache to the search for
          extraterrestrial life.  Just a few of the
          possible applications can be found here.

     Will RamDisk98 work with Windows '95? 

              From version 0.4 on RamDisk98 is
          compatible with Windows 95
