Is 2.14 a much greater improvement over 2.10 that you are unwilling to
go back to 2.10? That might be your only option. IIRC, Teddy-Term was
discontinued.

A good RAMdisk for the ST/e is Mega*Matic, which is the only one I've
found that seems to work fine on _all_ ST's.
  There is a nice RAMdisk out there that doesn't require a reboot to
install itself, but it only runs on the old ST's, and I've since
forgotten the name after moving to this STe. :(

You will then need a program such as "RAMCOPY.PRG" in your AUTO folder
_after_ your Ramdisk program. Or, if you have an STe, you can set
RAMCOPY to autorun from the desktop.

Both programs are shareware, and on many BBS's.

No "memory saving" way. There are other programs/OS's, such as
MultiDesk, that allow you to load and unload ACC's like any other
program, but they are pretty ram-hungry themselves.

I have found MS/DOS to format no better than the ST.
  There is a formatter for the ST called "Floormat" that can format even
damaged disks, and mask out the bad sectors, but you really need a drive
with no problems to use it with much success. It *is* the most powerful
formatter on the ST, though.

  Hope this helps.                 -*- Tom -*-
