memory.device - Exec device driver for direct memory access

  (C) Copyright 1996 Marius Groeger
      All Rights Reserved.

  This special device simulates a trackdisk compliant block device in any
  region of memory. Unlike the RAM DISK (which is in fact not even a device)
  or the ramdrive.device, memory.device allows the exact definition of the
  memory to use for data storage.

  The included utility program "MakeDisk" allows to create a low-overhead RAM
  disk drive based on the memory.device. No mountlist or 2.1-style DosDriver
  is needed, as MakeDisk performes the DOS attachment internally. The RAM
  disk may also be placed in chip RAM.

  The purpose memory.device has been developed for is to use it on systems
  equipped with different RAM chips or local memory busses. In conjunction
  with VMM or similar virtual memory packages a memory region with slower RAM
  chips may be used as swap area. This idea originates from the z2ram device
  which has been written for Linux/68k/Amiga.

  Other applications with memory.device are conceivable, ranging from whitty
  over funny to perverted. Use it on your own risk, it is a license to crash
  the system.

  Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide document to obtain further
  information about the installation and usage of memory.device.
