COMPAQ'S ENHDISK

  If you use COMPAQ's ENHDISK.SYS driver for hard drive partitioning, put
  the DEVICE=ENHDISK.SYS command as the first line in the CONFIG.SYS file
  (ahead of the EMM.SYS and QUIKMEM.SYS commands).

QUIKMEM2 RAMDISK MAXIMUM SIZE

  The maximum size of a QUIKMEM RAM disk is 8M bytes, even with EMM 4.0.

QUIKMEM2 RAMDISKS AND DOS 4.0 APPEND

  (Field report)  A user reports a problem with a QUIKMEM2 RAM disk while
  using DOS 4.0's APPEND command with the /X parameter.  When he did a DIR
  on the RAM disk, he got the directory listing for the hard disk.  Removing
  the /X parameter solved the problem.

MAXIMUM FILES, RAMDISK CONFIGURATION

  The root directory of a disk can hold a maximum of 128 files, but
  subdirectories can hold an unlimited number of files.  The only limit to
  the number of files in a subdirectory is the amount of storage space on
  the drive.

  DOS allows up to 32 RAM disks; use manual installation for more than two.
  Some computers have hard disk partitions using higher drive letters.  RAM
  disks will install after these drive letters, even if they're invisible.

MS WORD AND RAM DISKS

  MS Word Manual has instructions for using Word with RAM disks.
  Version 2.0 Manual page 355
  Version 3.0 Manual page 178 (second manual)

QUIKMEM2 AND ANSI.SYS

  Intel has found a problem that occurs when MS-DOS 4.01 ANSI.SYS loads
  before QUIKMEM2.SYS.  If they were the only drivers loaded, the computer
  would lock up during operation.  However, if additional drivers were
  loaded (such as RAMDRIVE.SYS, HIMEM.SYS or SMARTDRV.SYS) there was no
  problem.  If ANSI.SYS loaded after QUIKMEM2.SYS, there was no problem.  No
  problems were found with PC-DOS 4.01.

RAMDISKS & ZENITH SYSTEMS

  These computers have switches to assign one to four floppy disk drives. If
  the switches are set for 4 floppy drives, then DOS assigns drives A:
  through D: to these floppy drives even if fewer drives are actually in the
  computer.  If you install a RAM disk, DOS will assign it the letter after
  the last floppy and hard disk drive letter.
