If i use Windows 3's disk cache in my config.sys it locks up. I have a Seagate ST251R disk, and an Western Digital controller. It seems to me that my controller does som sector translaton etc. I use Disk Managers driver. Norton 6.0 cache works, but is not compatible with Windows. Does anyone out there know a solution that gives me caching under windows? Thanks in advance

Maybe there IS a bug in Windows' SMARTDRV.SYS. Does anybody here know why? I suggest you use the one which is provided by DOS. It works fine with Windows. Good luck. ***************************************************************************** * Ho capito, signor,si!........ * * * *Cheng Yang Home Address: * *Department of Computer Science 808 East, 300 South, #3 * *University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84102 * *E-Mail Address:cyang@peruvian.utah.edu Tel: 801-322-1918 * *****************************************************************************
