I do not think you can not open a ram-drive using memory outside the VM
allocation.

I have not been able to do it.  The host system ram drive is not considered
a physical drive so I couldn't go that route.

The simply answer to that is. yes. The maximum amount of memory is less than
the amount for the VM... of course.

I am looking at running a VM where the software needs access to a ram drive
on the host machine.  Is this possible and how do I do it?
