Hi Richard,

as you are interested in having extremely large RAMDISKs:

https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HimemSX

might be interesting for you, because it can use RAM
beyond the first 4 GB. Normal HIMEM versions can only
use your first 4 GB, and between a few 100 MB and more
than a gigabyte of that could be used as I/O area for
BIOS/ACPI/whatever for your disk controllers, graphics
card and so on.

It comes with modified versions of the SHSURDRV and
of the mentioned RDISK (by Jack) RAMDISK drivers to
make use of the extra XMS RAM.

Mercury has uploaded a pre-compiled version of HIMEMSX:

Interestingly, the pre-compiled modified RDISK and
SHSURDRV binaries can be found on the github instead.

Regards, Eric
