This is the "any-slot" RAM card, right?
I think the RAMDisk code is already built into the card for DOS 3.3, but
you need to hook to it with an IN#n/PR#n; I'm not sure if INIT is required
or not.
I have worked with this card, but that was a very long time ago. Someone
I knew had a boot disk that would set up the card, then EXEC a text file.
That text file contained the commands to BRUN FID off of the disk, and
automatically copy his whole suite of utility programs to the RAM card.
Neat idea, actually...
