Ok, I have tried PC-CACHE, HyperDisk, and SmartDrive.   I place these
in the upper memory block area (I am using QEMM 5.12) and they seem to
work more or less ok, UNTIL I run something like Windows in 386 Enhanced
mode.  I can guarantee a system hang just by running Paintbrush (the
one that comes w/Windows.  Anybody really running (safely) their
cache in the UMB Areas????  BTW, I used the XS parameter for HyperDisk and
loadhi for the other two (loadhi is the QEMM toy).
