I need a simple reliable RAMDISK that can automatically set an
Environment variable to it's drive letter. SRDISK can do this, but seems
a bit over the top for my needs. I don't know if TDSK can do this.
There is a program called finddisk by Eric Auer that can find a disk
by volume label and optionally change to that directory. There is
also findtdsk. This is useful for setting environment variables to a
RAMDISK's drive letter, as ramdisks always have a certain volume
label. TDSK does not do this on its own.
I'd recommend Jason Hood's SHSURDSK program (freeware), found at:
http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/shsufdrv/index.html
it loads, and returns an errorlevel (A=1, Z=26, 0/27+ = error)
The so-called BENNYLEVEL (H%%x) is supported also.
No need for a separate 'find ramdisk' program
additional feature is disk image loading, even gzip'd disk images.
I don't know yet if any ramdisk of size 1440KB gives the same geometry
as a 1.44MB diskette.
It's pretty much equivalent to the famous XMSDSK.EXE :)
batchcode is really easy:
@echo off
shrdrv86 /D:12400K,D
if errorlevel 27 goto end
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto end
for %%x in ( D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ) do if
errorlevel H%%x set extradrv=%%x:
ECHO Ramdisk loaded at drive %extradrv%
goto end
:end
