VD0: is a warm-boot recoverable ram resident disk-like device.
This is a shareware program written by:
Perry S. Kivolowitz
ASDG Incorporated
280 River Rd Suite 54A
Piscataway N.J. 08854
(201) 540 - 9670
I haven't used it all that much yet, but now that I've gotten some
fast memory I'm sure I'll probably start.
I still have this online. I'll put it in:
ant::bipolar:[smcafee.public]asdg.shar1
ant::bipolar:[smcafee.public]asdg.shar2
regards,
steve mcafee

| 804.2 | One more file... | MORRIS::SMCAFEE | Steve McAfee | Wed Oct 14 1987 12:09 | 20 |
|
Forgot to mention...
One of these shar files has a file called DeleteRamDisk.uu in it.
That file is bad. A "good" version is also in:
ant::bipolar:[smcafee.public]DeleteRamDisk.uu
Actually, for anyone new to this notesfile, there are several people
who graciously maintain directories with all sorts of amiga goodies
in them. Most of these folks post frequent messages telling us
when they have made something new available. Generally, you can
find what you want by poking around in one of these areas. Of
course to be kind, one shouldn't bog down the network with large
file transfers during the day. Of course, at night... (I'm going
after "The Dream Goes Berzerk" as soon as I get a chance).

of other goodies.
The node is:
COOKIE""::DISK$GZ_2:[WECKER.AMIGA]
look around. You will be amazed!

| 804.5 | Help me, modify my startup-sequence for VD0 | TRUCKS::BUSSINK_E | Switzerland 700th, D-3 | Mon Jul 29 1991 04:31 | 41 |
| This is the only Topic that I got thru DIR/TITLE=VD0 *
I tried to install the VD0 yesterday evening on my system. But I want
to Relabel the name "ASDG-RAM:" to VD0: .
I can insert the command 'Relabel "ASDG-RAM:" VD0' in the
startup-sequence, and it will work when the computer is turned on. But
when I WarmReboot my machine, it will try to relabel, and with give an
error measage, which is normal due to the fact that there is no such
name. Could anybody help me with my startup-sequence.
Turn the computer on.
Startup-sequence
|
|
mount VD0:
relabel "asdg-ram:" vd0 Ok
|
|
WarmReboot
Startup-sequence
|
|
mount VD0: ok
relabel "asdg-ram:" vd0 error message 20
Can I use something like this :
|
mount vd0:
if not asdg-ram:
relabel "asdg-ram:" vd0
endif
|
Cheers,
Erik

| 804.6 | Here ya go... | FROCKY::BALZER | Christian Balzer DTN:785-1029 | Mon Jul 29 1991 05:35 | 20 |
| Re: .5
From my "home" startup-sequence:
...
mount vd0:
if not exists vd0:t
echo "VD0: not found - installing..."
relabel drive vd0 name W
makedir w:t
endif
assign t: w:t
...
You don't have to assign t: to vd0:, it just's that way in my case.
Even a "dummy" directory that will be lost during a power cyle will do.
Cheers,

| 804.7 | Could this work in my Startup-sequence, to mount & relabel VD0 | TRUCKS::BUSSINK_E | Switzerland 700th, D-3 | Mon Jul 29 1991 09:50 | 12 |
| Could this work :
in my Startup-sequence
...
mount VD0:
if exists ASDG-RAM: if ASDG-RAM: exist then it will
relabel "ASDG-RAM:" VD0 rename the device.
endif

| 804.9 | VD0 startup-sequence fix. | TRUCKS::BUSSINK_E | Switzerland 700th, D-2 | Tue Jul 30 1991 04:50 | 25 |
| Well, it did work, but got an Requester for Drive ASDG-RAM during the
startup-sequence. Not very neat.
so here it is now.
...
mount VD0:
if not exists vd0:disk.info
relabel "ASDG-RAM:" VD0
copy dh0:VD0.info VD0:disk.info
endif
...
This will work far better. By checking if there is a Disk.info in
the VD0. If not, it will copy a pre-snapshotted Disk.info to
the device. (This will allow you to have neat Disk icon for the VD0)
The only problem here, is that if you delete Disk.info from VD0,
and reboot it will try to relabel the device, and will return an
failat 20 error message.
Some people mailed me, and do not seem to understand, that while RAD
(that's what I have read) takes ram space, even when it's empty. VD0
doesn't. :-)
