þ this program emulates floppy disks in floppy drives.

þ it can load and save several formats from/to files.

þ i have developed this program to do easy installation of
programms from harddisk, CD or other storage media.

þ it is a shell - not a tsr - you can unload E0X by simply
exit the executed program.

þ you can use E0X as a fast storage.
( similar to Ramdisk/VDisk/Ramdrive)

þ a diskchange is possible : whith F11/F12 keys you can
switch to the next/previos disk image.

þ to be fast E0X loads the entire disk image in XMS memory.

þ the emulation works on interrupt $13/$40
( see tested programs chapter "Getestete Programme" in e0x.deu )

NOT freeware:

"The registered version of RAMDisk 9x/Me costs $49."
"The registered version of RAMDisk NT costs $49."
"The registered version of RAMDisk XP costs $69."

Besides, there are freeware RAM disks out there. :)

Two freewares which have been recommended, message

XMSDSK/EMSDSK - a Ram Disk driver/utility for Win9x/DOS.
