As a followup to this article I posted, I've been able to do some reading last
night and have tried varying a few options, but with no success.

   1) I've reduced the amount of smartdrive down to 256K normal cache.  No luck

   2) I removed smartdrive altogether.  This resulted in a fatal application
      error everytime I selected MPW.  When I clicked on OK Windows terminated
      and I was back to the DOS screen.

   3) I tried using EMM386.SYS but when I load Windows it puts up the 
      Windows banner and then the message "Invalid command.com" "command.com
      not loaded.  System halted" is written over the banner.  This happens
      with both the EMM386.SYS from DOS 4.01 or Windows 3.0.

As you can see I'm still stuck and would like any pointers you can give me.

Also, has anyone experienced the problems mentioned in points 2 & 3?  Is there
something obvious I've missed?

Thanks for any help you can give.
