I think that PC-Cache is better, since you can use expanded memory 
instead of extended.  Smartdrive messes comm programs since it access 
extended memory, and you start losing characters because it has to reset 
the processor (I think).   And PC-Cache seems to work just fine with 
Windows.  It also works well with Desqview.
