He had webpages at

For the OS: winxp, win95, and msdos(v5+ to v7). 

(OS dependant) I need a TSR device driver that will present itself as a
harddrive to the
OS when it's installed. Must work on winxp and dos. This also needs a way to
talk to
an ide harddrive, either plugged into the mobo or on a pci card.

AND/OR

(OS independant, preferable) I need a device to plug into the IDE cable as if it
were a
harddrive, but be a device totally under my control <hideous cackle>, which
would
present itself to the OS or bios as a normal harddrive, but into which i can
plug
standard motherboard memory simm/sip/modules of the ddr(x) variety to be the 
"platters" of the harddrive. 

Why? It's a secret, sorry.

No, i cannot use a regular ramdrive for this. No, i do not wish to use flash
memory.
No, i do not wish to use flash cards, usb, etc.. 

Yes, i know this thing will forget everything when power is removed.
