 vdisk.device is a driver for a recoverable RAM disk. It started 2 years ago as
a hack of ASDG-RAM (written by Perry S. Kivolowitz). These hacked versions 
(1.3 -> 1.12) were not distributed.
 As of version 2.0, it has been entirely rewritten, with many new features added :

 - Up to 16 units with virtually unlimited size (512 MB)
 - Dynamic memory allocation and (optionnaly) deallocation
 - Full support of all AmigaDOS Filesystems.
 - Will survive the heaviest system crashes as long as its own data is not 
   corrupted.
 - In case of a recovery failure, the cause can be reported by a support command.

 VDisk requires AmigaDOS 2.04 or higher (V37).

CHANGES

 V 2.5 :      - vdisk now retries failed memory allocations with MEMF_PUBLIC
		when BufMemType was set to allocate a specific type of
		memory. This should cause less write errors.
	      - French doc included after numerous requests.
