Virtual memory - yes! It grabs RAM if you have enough
(which you do not)
and the VM.SYS device driver makes VM: look like a disk drive. If you had
4 MBytes of memory and used 2 MBytes for VM:, that would give you a device
of 4096 blocks.
Jerome,
I think he's talking about the opposite of what you mean. You mean using
RAM as a disk, right? I believe he means using disk for RAM. Which is
something I personally try to avoid like the plague!
