Any reports of the new version > doing similar flaky things? I run MS-DOS 5.0, Windows 3.0, QEMM 5.11 and PC Tools 6.0 PC-CACHE on a 386SX with a 210M SCSI disk with no problems. Several programs including the PC-CACHE are loaded in the high memory by QEMM. PC-CACHE is a lot better than Smartdrv, large applications get loaded directly from cache when I run them the second time (the disk light doesn't even flash). Of course, PC-CACHE cannot release memory for Windows but it's no big deal if you've got enough of it. -- Pertti Suomela, ps@cc.tut.fi
