I tried using FastRAM off Aminet, but low and behold, I could not make sense out of the docs.

I know I pulled this off years ago, but am not having luck now.

All I want is RAD to go into my FAST RAM, and I want to be able to tell it not to remember its contents upon reboot.

P.S. I'll prolly be using BlizKick soon once I figure it out, I've heard that can cause issues...

A RAD drive is a virtual disk drive created from the Amigas memory. By default the standard RAD mount uses Chip Ram. The only way to change this is to get one of the alternatives available, such as the freeware utility, StatRam. This can be found on Aminet and in many PD libraries. StatRam allows the use of any other memory and, unlike the standard RAD disk, alters its size dynamically. If you have a Blizzard accelerator there is also a program available that specifically uses the Blizzards RAM fitted on the card.
