It is also a COMR32 module written by Shao Miller:

com32/modules/ifmemdsk.c

The DOS version capable of detecting MEMDSIK is mdiskchk.com.

@ Bernd Blaauw

Add ifmemdsk.c32 in the com32/modules/Makefile file and compile Syslinux:

MODULES	  = chain.c32 config.c32 ethersel.c32 dmitest.c32 cpuidtest.c32 \
	    disk.c32 pcitest.c32 elf.c32 linux.c32 reboot.c32 pmload.c32 \
	    meminfo.c32 sdi.c32 sanboot.c32 ifcpu64.c32 vesainfo.c32 \
	    kbdmap.c32 cmd.c32 vpdtest.c32 host.c32 ls.c32 gpxecmd.c32 \
	    ifcpu.c32 cpuid.c32 cat.c32 pwd.c32 ifplop.c32 zzjson.c32 whichsys.c32 \
	    ifmemdsk.c

@ hpa
Can you fix this in git?
