I assume this is for DOS, running some sort of multitasker, eg. DESQview?

If so, even if you do manage to create a RAM disk from one node, the
other node won't see the new drive letter.  You can see this using the SUBST
command.  I think you are better off just creating the drive at
boot time using RAMDRIVE.SYS.

There are instructions on how to create a RAM drive in Windows NT/2K/XP at
