I tried it and it seems to work.
I'd expected to get a "wrong DOS-version" error in such cases
but nothing happened !

I found it with searchengine. But you have to register and there were
freeware programs as well on that page.
I chose furd19_i.zip from Franck Uberto , which works fine for me:
Up to 2GB , works from command-line, you can chose the driveletter ,
and resize without reboot .
But it only supports one ramdrive , as it seems.
