There has been a RAM-based GS/OS driver for RAM5 for some time. I don't
remember who wrote it, but it was originally written to speed access to the
Ram disk. I used it for a while as I was experimenting with a MultiKache in
slot 5. Unfortunately while the RAM5 driver DOES allow you to use the Ramdisk
from GS/OS even if slot 5 is set to YOUR CARD, it doesn't allow access to the
Ramdisk from ProDOS 8 (which was where I needed the Ramdisk at the time).
