I HAVE NOT tried nor used this program. I have however used another
ramdrive for Seti and it copied the data to the harddrive in time
section that are user configurable. Meaning that you can choose how
often the data is written to the harddrive from one minute to hours.

I found one could easily get a ramdrive by simply adding the device to the
config.sys file.

The autoexec.bat file then can use xcopy to get the Seti@home files from the
directory one saved it in before shutting the computer down.  (You have to
install it into the ramdrive to get Window to know where to find it.  And
apparently add it to the shortcuts in Startup.)

But having failed to save it once. I am wondering if there is a way, such a
by scripting, to get that automated.

PS.  The only weakness I have noticed so far in this system, is that the
ramdrive gets a different drive letter if you add or remove a hard drive.

Noting that IIRC a ramdrive may well consume more CPU resource than writing to disk (if DMA enabled).  Therefore they are mainly of use if you want your harddrive to shut down and spend time asleep, which it won't if you save off teh RAMdisk every minute...
