Well, thanks to the hard work of it's original developers and some
diligent II users who worked for it's re-release and of course Quality
Software for the actual reclassification... you can use a utility called
FlashBoot. You will need to be able to transfer the software to the GS
though. Get the .sdk file here.

Doc's can be found here (join to download a pdf if desired).

There may be other GS options for pre-loading a ram-disk but this is the
first which comes to mind. You could always try Google. As a start use
the phrase...

gs ram disk copy
