Anyone heard of a RAD disk for XP or 9x ?
Google only returns Amiga related.

I remember those on my Amiga.

Recoverable Ram drive.

It was useful those days as I didn't have a hard-drive.

But with fast hard drives, what's the point???

Use RAM, and save to HDD. Recoverable!!

Nostalgia mainly. I have quite a few floppies to make.
I used to copy the files to RAD: , defrag in a second
or two, then copy to floppy.

I just checked XP defrag and Diskeeper but they
don't work on A:

Use UltraISO to make CD and Floppy images. It's excellent.

When they are recorded to floppy, they should be unfragmented

As you are only making small images, you don't even need to register.
