ramBunctious X 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Just use OSX itself to create a ram disk
It seems really silly to pay somebody to do this when you can just use OSX's built-in functionality. Create a plain-text file with the following commands in it: #!/bin/sh NUMSECTORS=524288 # 64mb = 131072 # 128mb = 262144 # 256mb = 524288 # 512mb = 1048576 # 1gb = 2097152 mydev=`hdid -nomount ram://$NUMSECTORS` newfs_hfs $mydev mkdir /tmp/ramdrive mount -t hfs $mydev /tmp/ramdrive Save the file with a name like 'mkramdisk.sh', and give it executable permissions: chmod 755 mkramdisk.sh Run it. Voila. This script is right out of the man page for hdid. You can also read about doing this at http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_fs.html K [alert admin]
