That /RAM volume you saw in the Copy II Plus program is a special
RAMDisk created by ProDOS (there's a reason why it is disconnected). 
The RAMDisk you created in the Control Panel is always mapped as "Slot
5, Drive 2".  That RAMDisk is the one you should use.  Oh, I don' know
if it's possible to remap the 2nd 3.5" drive as "Slot 5, Drive 2" and
placing the RAMDisk as another Slot and Drive.
