 Real or virtual? Real disk not fits you, ramdrive not fits you.
What really you need? May be, you need disk container like Stacker/Jam or
PGPDisk?

d = 512Mb with all attributes of a disk - boot

 Conventional memory is a contiguous memory block _inside first
megabyte_, starting from zero address. If you map memory over graphics
memory area at segment A000 and mono video text at segment B000 (of course,
in this case you may use only color text modes), you may increase
conventional memory from 640k to 640k+64k+32k=736k. To use all other memory,
your application should use XMS/EMS, or should be compiled with/for DOS
extenders (like DOS4GW or DOS32a).

 Well, there is Stacker and Jam, which create compressed disk images.
There was utility to create crypted disk images in Norton Utility. There is
PGPdisk (and other similar, like BestCrypt), but I don't know, if there DOS
version for these utilities. Also, there is present something related to
disk images in SHSUCD package. But I have no experience with them, so try
yourself.
