IBM provided source code for vdisk 3.3 but omitted some dependencies as
mentioned in the .asm file:
Message text for VDISK is in module VDISKMSG.
include versiona.inc
In DOS version 4.0 they bundled everything into vdisk.asm, and now it
builds with MASM 4.0.
Hard to find, but PCjs Machines had it. And if that fails, here it is.

TITLE VDISK - Virtual Disk Device Driver
;VDISK simulates a disk drive, using Random Access Memory as the storage medium.
;This program is meant to serve as an example of a device driver. It does not
;reflect the current level of VDISK.SYS.
;(C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 1984,1985,1988
;Licensed Material - Program Property of IBM
;Authors: Dick Dievendorff
; Rod Springhetti
; David M. Sewell
;Add the following statement to CONFIG.SYS
; DEVICE=[d:][path]VDISK.SYS bbb sss ddd [/E:m]
; where: bbb is the desired buffer size (in kilobytes)
; minimum 1KB, maximum is size of available memory,
; default is 64KB.
; VDISK will leave at least 64KB of available memory,
; although subsequent device drivers (other than VDISK)
; other programs that make themselves resident, and
; COMMAND.COM will result in less than 64KB as shown
; by CHKDSK.
; Must be large enough for 1 boot sector + FAT sectors
; + 1 directory sector + at least 1 data cluster,
; or the device driver won't be installed.
; sss is the desired sector size (in bytes)
; 128, 256, or 512, default is 128.
; Will be adjusted if number of FAT entries > 0FE0H
; ddd is the desired number of directory entries
; Minimum 2, maximum 512, default 64.
; Will be rounded upward to sector size boundary.
; /E may only be used if extended memory above 1 megabyte
; is to be used. INT 15H functions 87H and 88H are used
; to read and write this extended memory.
; The m parameter in the /E option specifies the maximum
; number of sectors that the VDISK will transfer at a time.
; Optional values are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8 sectors, the default
; is 8 sectors.
; Brackets indicate optional operands.
; Samples:
; DEVICE=\path\VDISK.SYS 160 512 64
; results in a 160KB VDISK, with 512 byte sectors, 64 directory entries
; DEVICE=VDISK.SYS Buffersize 60 Sectorsize 128 Directory entries 32
; (since only numbers are interpreted, you may comment the line with
; non-numeric characters)

;The following word is the 16-bit kilobyte address of the first byte in
;extended memory that is not occupied by a VDISK buffer
;It is placed into this location so that other users of extended memory
;may find where all the VDISKs end.
;This field may be accessed by moving the boot record of the First extended
;memory VDISK from absolute location 10 0000H. Before assuming that the
;value below is valid, the vendor ID (constant VDISK) should be verified
;to make sure that SOME VDISK has been installed.
;For example, if two VDISKs are installed, one 320KB and one 64KB, the
;address calculations are as follows:
;Extended memory start address = 100000H (1024KB)
;Start addr of 1st VDISK buffer = 100000H (1024KB)
;Length of 1st VDISK buffer = 050000H ( 320KB)

;Start addr of 2nd VDISK buffer = 150000H (1344KB)
;Length of 2nd VDISK buffer = 010000H ( 64KB)
;End addr of 2nd VDISK buffer = 15FFFFH
;First byte after all VDISKs = 160000H (1408KB)
;Divide by 1024 = 0580H (1408D)

;unit (cluster) size is doubled, until we have few enough allocation ;

TITLE VDISK - Virtual Disk Device Driver
;VDISK simulates a disk drive, using Random Access Memory as the storage medium.
;This program is meant to serve as an example of a device driver. It does not
;reflect the current level of VDISK.SYS.

;Add the following statement to CONFIG.SYS
; DEVICE=[d:][path]VDISK.SYS bbb sss ddd [/E:m]
; where: bbb is the desired buffer size (in kilobytes)
; minimum 1KB, maximum is size of available memory,
; default is 64KB.
; VDISK will leave at least 64KB of available memory,
; although subsequent device drivers (other than VDISK)
; other programs that make themselves resident, and
; COMMAND.COM will result in less than 64KB as shown
; by CHKDSK.
; Must be large enough for 1 boot sector + FAT sectors
; + 1 directory sector + at least 1 data cluster,
; or the device driver won't be installed.
; sss is the desired sector size (in bytes)
; 128, 256, or 512, default is 128.
; Will be adjusted if number of FAT entries > 0FE0H
; ddd is the desired number of directory entries
; Minimum 2, maximum 512, default 64.
; Will be rounded upward to sector size boundary.
; /E may only be used if extended memory above 1 megabyte
; is to be used. INT 15H functions 87H and 88H are used
; to read and write this extended memory.
; The m parameter in the /E option specifies the maximum
; number of sectors that the VDISK will transfer at a time.
; Optional values are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8 sectors, the default
; is 8 sectors.
; Brackets indicate optional operands.
; Samples:
; DEVICE=\path\VDISK.SYS 160 512 64
; results in a 160KB VDISK, with 512 byte sectors, 64 directory entries
; DEVICE=VDISK.SYS Buffersize 60 Sectorsize 128 Directory entries 32

I loaded SoftICE to debug but then it didn't crash. Hmmm. SoftICE limits
memory to 16 MB, maybe that's why.
Then, instead of SoftICE, I tried TDG16M.SYS which also limits memory to
16 MB. That worked too. So VDISK can't handle > 16MB memory. Needs a bug
fix.
Files like TDG16M.SYS (from Borland) are hard to find now. Any ideas for
a public share location?

That driver simply hook Int 15h AH=88h and return the wanted extended memory
capacity, if the specified size is smaller than the actual capacity.
Otherwise, the drive won't load because it's not needed.

I didn't know about that one. Filewatcher was good but it's long gone.

I have a free mega.nz account where I could save old files. Never tried
it though, so I don't know if it's easy to use or not.
Any other ideas for file sharing?

IMO, Mega is not low-end-PC friendly due to its high memory usage.
Other good alternatives (in general) are MediaFire, Dropbox, Google Drive,
Microsoft One Drive, Degoo.
Google Drive is best in terms of maximum file size, and overall best for the
combination of storage capacity and upload retention.
Degoo is best in terms of storage capacity (100GB last time I check), but
its 42 days account activity is a big disadvantage.
All these requires user registration, BTW.
For file sharing without registration requirement, I have these in my
bookmark.
fileconvoy.com
gofile.io
uguu.se
workupload.com
zippyshare.com
Keep in mind that almost all file sharing without registration requirement,
have low upload retention.
