Question #1: The DayStar Manual for the FastCache says to turn off the mac
cache for optimal performance. It seems you *can't* turn off the cache in 7.0,
What now??

Question #2: What is the optimal setting of the mac cache (under the "Memory"
control panel for Sys 7.0) for a IIci, 8Meg RAM system that is is generally
running at least 3 apps at the same time (IP apps)...sometime 5 or 6

Question #3: Combine the above two; What is the optimal cache setting for a Mac
IIci, Sys 7.0, 8M RAM system (using a DayStar Digital FastCache) that is is
generally running at least 3 apps at the same time (IP apps)...sometimes 5 or
6...

(the system in question has a 105Meg Hard Drive also)
(When I say optimal, I mean to get the most speed out of the system)
