RAMDISK drive letter |
I use Jason Hood's modified SHSURDRV (with the ZLIB stuff stripped out) XMSv3 386+ RAM driver. It lets me choose drive letter. I set LASTDRIVE=G usually, so I use that. (It unloads, too!) But I normally don't create beyond 200 MB because larger sizes confuse some software. |

Thanks, but on DR DOS 6.0 both shsurdv/shrdrv86 give a "Must be DOS 4 or later" error... using DOSVER to trick them freeze... |

If you load a RAM disk in CONFIG.SYS, you can't (at least not directly) control/select the drive letter that is assigned. DOS assigns the letters of all disks automatically using its own mechanisms, and different versions/manufacturers of DOS do it differently. |

Thanks a lot for all the technical info, I find my need with SRDUMMY that allow me to use the smaller ramdisk provided with DR-DOS 6. Even if 20KB is not a big deal, on an overcrowled floppy it's too much |

I alos try to use SUBST and SWSUBST but as the disk letter I want to use is not active (no disk behind), the substitution work, no binary error, but after it didn't work... |

For swapping drive letters you can use Letter Assigner v1.2.0 --- |
