Recoverable Ram
VD0: has been on my A1200 for 6 weeks or so, and has not (as far as
I can tell) been responsible for any unhappy events whatsoever. Now,
I don't move any startup stuff over to it and use it as a fast
rebooter (the A1200 is so quick to boot-up/re-boot with a harddrive,
and so seldom crashes to need re-booting that it just didn't seem
worth the effort or time to set it up to re-boot) so I can't give it
a 100% clean bill of health. But as a recoverable RAM disk, it's as
good as it ever was…
Early on (even before WB2) I had trouble with some versions of VD0:
and had to find the original (FF#58). When WB2 came out, I got a
newer version of the program portion that goes in DEVS: called
vdisk.device, here on CIS. That combo (old mountlist entry modified
to name vdisk.device, and new vdisk.device in DEVS: ) with "mount
vd0:" and "cd vd0:" in my user-startup script seems to work just fine
for me.
I haven't searched the CIS files for the vdisk.device program, so
it may be here, but if it isn't, I think I can pack it up with LZ and
upload it if you want. Ditto the version of asdg-rrd that worked for
me.
