Are you sure? Because u:\ram is not a drive, but a directory, so you
can't just "Dfree()" it to find the amount of free space. And I guess
that a TOS-program will use Dfree for this purpose. "df" use MiNTlib
which might use some magic to find the free space in the ramdisk.

Matthias, try creating a "virtual" drive for the ramdisk. Put...

alias k: u:\ram

...somewhere in your mint.cnf file. This will link the ramdisk to the
new drive K (or whichever drive letter you choose). Atleast Teradesk
will report the correct amount of free space on this "drive" on my
Firebee with a fairly recent MiNT kernel.
