Through laborous trial and error processes, I have tried to find a single 
caching system that will work with both DESQ and WIN3 enh. PC-KWIK V2.1,
Norton 5 F cache, Hyperdisk V4.11, and PC-CACHE V4.0 have all failed. 
Smartdriv does work but is too slow and offers no write caching. I
would like a single configuration that performs write caching and can
dynamically give RAM back to the system if necessary. An added restriction
is that I have SCSI (Future Domain controlled) and MFM drives in a single
system. This rules out the shareware version of Hyperdisk since it
currently does not properly interface with Future Domain SCSI controller.
I will compile all of the suggestions (hopefully the solution) and post them
to the net. Thanks in advance.
