RAMDisk is a sample demonstrating how to write a simple Mac OS block device driver, in this case a RAM disk. It also demonstrates how to bundle a system extension (INIT), driver (DRVR) and control panel (cdev) in one file, to achieve maximum functionality while minimising the number of items in the System Folder. This sample is a control panel, which installs a RAM disk. It compiles using Metrowerks C and is written almost entirely in C, along with a small assembly language DRVR header.
