Hello Roy - 

CA>> I use the W98SE version of smartdrv with my W31 install

CA>> with no problems. :-) 

CA>> Seems faster too. 

RJT> I'm not sure if the w98 I have here is the SE version or
RJT> not, would that make much of a difference? 

Might. I don't have an earlier W98 to compare to here, only the
"SE" version. 

RJT> I used to use various cache programs, but as the number of
RJT> logical drives I used here went up, and the memory I
RJT> wanted to give cache went up, I started having problems
RJT> with some of them. Last one was PC-CACHE from the PCTOOLS
RJT> setup. That didn't deal with my current or last setup at
RJT> all well. So I ended up switching to SMARTDRV. I'm now
RJT> wondering, based on what you write above, if perhaps the
RJT> version you refer to might not be a better idea? 

Possibly. 

RJT> Is it not sensitive to the OS version at all? That seems
RJT> to me to be a factor when it comes to yanking utilities of
RJT> various sorts off newer m$ product... 

I use W98SE SmartDrv with MSDOS v6.22 here to run W31. :-)
