Subject: Re: RAMWORKS w/RGB option ?

While we are on the subject, does anybody know if there is a ramdisk
driver for the PCPI applicard that works with the RAMWORKS card?  (I.e,
that uses the RAMWORKS memory for its ramdisk.)  Presumably if there were
one it would also work with the Apple 80 col card.  Please save me from
re-inventing the wheel.  If I can't buy one, I will have to write it
myself.
