Make that three decades ago. In 1992 I was using a utility called VGADISK to create a 176K ramdisk in the VGA memory - this was on a 286 "laptop" (rather a luggable) with 1MB of RAM, and allowed me to fit entire programs in there as long as they didn't use VGA graphics (which would instantly corrupt the content of the ramdrive). Still online thanks to http://www.retroarchive.org/garbo/pc/memutil/index.html http://www.retroarchive.org/garbo/pc/memutil/index.html - a whopping 8KB zip archive, so about 30 seconds on my 2400bps modem (assuming V42 or MNP4)
