Hi, it was me. However, I tried it quite a while ago, and some details might fall through
the cracks (of my memory).
This is what I unearthed in my old C:\config.sys. As far as I remember, you need to add
into C:\config.sys file the following lines to create RAM drive G: =8.192 Mb in
the extended memory:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\Ramdrive.sys 8192 /E
LASTDRIVE=G
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P
Then you copy data files you want to G: and use Metastock treating G: as a regular disk
Those more knowledgeable than me please check the above if I missed something. Possibly,
it was for DOS with Win 3.11. Don't know if the same commands are valid for Win95/98.
But my point was that there was no speed increase at all! Let me know if I was wrong.
Cheers, Vitaly
