Ram disk on 4.x (or Ultrix)

[NEVILLE%umass-cs.csnet at csnet-relay.arpa]

We have just added an 8 meg. board to our Micro-Vax II  running Ultrix 1.1
and since we are a small group (usually only a dozen user processes) we
find that we are running with about 25% memory usage.  Our job mix lends
itself well to speed increase from RAM 'disk' emulation, in particular
we would like to put /tmp there or better yet make a /ramtmp that could
be tried before the real /tmp.  i would also like to put some images
like emacs, cc, ccom, more, etc.  there.

Has anyone done a driver for a RAM 'disk' device?

i will be happy to summarize responses to the list.
