Are you using a RAMdisk like that in the Developer's Pak?  One which you must
iniz to use?  If so you will need different RAMdisk software.  What I use came
with my 512K upgrade.  You install Ram.dr and r0_xxx.dd in your boot file.  I
found they will not work with the RBF devices so I have them positioned right
before PipeMan.  You then use Rdisk  to start the RAMdisk where blocks
is the number of 8K blocks you want to assign to the RAMdisk.  When you're done
with it, just Rdisk t to terminate the RAMdisk and recover all its memory. If
you use the RAMdisk only occasionally you can avoid putting the driver and
descriptor in the bootfile (and avoid the BLOB at the same time) by loading and
unlinking them as necessary but this will waste memory.  If you use the RAMdisk
a lot, you may want to merge Rdisk

into your shell.  This RAMdisk appears to be <100%-RBF compatible but I think
the flexibility and being able to start and lose the RAMdisk on the fly is
worth it.
