I used device=a:\xmsdsk.exe 3072, and it always reports a floating point error and hangs.
When I load it with wrapper.sys, it always tells me to Increase lastdrive, but my lastdrive is already set to Z, and the virtual drive letter I want is X.
Loading it from the command line is no problem.
Also, when using an XMSDSK RAM disk, can EMM386 be loaded?

xmsdsk.exe seems not to work!
You'd better use Microsoft's own Ramdrive.sys instead!
Actually, Ramdrive.sys can determine the drive letter!

NO NO NO! Shen Jie is wrong, RAMDRIVE.SYS really cannot specify the drive letter!

When ramdrive.sys is loaded in config.sys, you can then get the RAM disk's drive letter, but unfortunately I don't know how to get it through a variable in config.sys.

The following is quoted from Wengier's post on 2003-7-29 20:22:42:

Sorry, I remembered it wrong,
thanks to Wengier for the correction!
