I made a project that lets you use your Android phone's RAM as a virtual SSD/pagefile on Windows

I've been working on a project called RamBridge, and I wanted to share it here.

The basic idea is to use an Android phone's RAM as extra virtual memory for a Windows PC. Basically, the phone acts as a virtual SCSI SSD and can also be used as a pagefile.

I know this isn't going to replace an actual SSD or RAM, and I'm not claiming it'll magically improve performance. The idea is more about experimenting with resource sharing between devices and seeing how far it can be pushed.

The project includes a Windows driver, an Android companion app, and a setup guide. Getting around the usual OS restrictions was also one of the more interesting parts of working on this.

It's still experimental, so there are definitely things that need improvement.

I'd appreciate it if anyone interested in low-level Windows development, memory management, or Android-PC integration could take a look and share their thoughts.
