DOS ain't dead

RAMDISK drive letter (Users)

Hi,

Depending of the kernel I use, the ramdisk is different:

PARAGON DOS AND PTS-DOS ==> RDISK.COM

OTHERS KERNELS ==> XMSDSK.EXE

But they didn't work for Digital Research DR DOS 6.0 nor Novell DR DOS 6.0, you should use VDISK.SYS that don't have the option to force the drive letter.

BUT on this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/DOS/comments/fsjjya/how_do_i_change_the_drive_letter_of_a_ram_drive/), a guy Paracortex (suspended account) speak about NEXTDRIV a tool that force the next available letter to be the one you want to trick the ram disk.

But I cannot find the tools. I ask to the guys on his itch.io page (https://itch.io/profile/paracortex) and I also ask to the guy who respond to him on the reddit thread. I'm really looking for this tools... Did some of you have it or now the tricks to force the letters?

Thanks
