Someone claimed the one from DOS gives better performance, is that > true? I would be very surprised to find out this is true. Because, the Win3 SMARTDRV.SYS has been designed with several new features that the old one didn' have (like the ability to re-size the cache at run-time) that Win3 can exploit. I'd use the Win3 version for use with Win3. As for performance outside Win3?
