Hi,
in the good old DOS-times it was possible to use part of
the RAM as a virtual disk by installing the driver
RAMDRV.SYS

I need to do a similar thing under windows 2000.

The reason is that on one station permanently, every
second a set of data (a few bytes) is created which shall
be read immediately throug a network by another station,
both using windows 2k. Presently, this data is
written/read to/from the hard disk in station one which is
quite a challenge to the lifetime of the harddisk. This
job could be done much better by a virtual drive.

Alternatively, the data could be written to the clipboard
of station one, but how can that be accessed throug a
network by an application on station two?

Any suggestions?
Tanks for your help
