I've found the following method acceptable for determining where the
RAMDRIVE went (in AUTOEXEC.BAT):

for %%f in (c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k) do if exist %%f:\nul set RAMDRV=%%f

The variable RAMDRV will be set to the last readable driveletter, the
RAMDRIVE (unless you installed other device drivers that look like disk
drives).

FYI- in a batch file, you need to use %%f, on the command line, %f.
