[SmartDrive-DOS5 problem report deleted...]

I had troubles with SmartDrive running under Win3 & DOS401 on my
DTK386-20 w/ 5megs -- I was getting spurious hard disk errors.  After
a bout of running CHKDSK while in Win3 [no no no!] & really creating
havoc, I reloaded everything from scratch, removed SmartDrive from
config.sys, & the system's operation has been flawless; well, not
flawless, but at least no disk problems have occured.  I run without a
cache; neanderthal, I know, but then, I'm patient.
