[MiNT] MiNT dynamic/static RAM-Disk

["Mathias Wittau" <wittau@lnxnt.org>]

Hi All,

I have some programs that would need the RAM-Disk as "scratch-partition",
but cannot use the FreeMiNT built in one. Espceially "Postitiv Image"
could need a 128MB or larger RAM-Disk, but reports "cannot be used, there
are 0kB free" when I try to use u:/ram/ as scratch partition.

I also tried to use a residen RAM-Disk, and tested various programs. The
only program that is working with MiNT at my FireBee seems to be M-Disk by
Christoph Strunk (1991) but it is limited to 4MB. That does not make much
sense to have a 4MB Disk "M".

Any ideas, anybody? Is there a possibility to define some "general size"
for u:/ram/ for exampele? I have 512 MB and it would not be a problem to
"loose" 128 MB for example.
