I own an Apple //gs.  I have an Applied Engineering GSRAM card which came
with a Classic Disk Accessory(CDA) 3.5" Disk Cache.  My recently purchased GSOS
operating system disk came with a New Disk Accessory(NDA) 3.5" Disk Cache.

Can anyone tell me which is better to use, (and why)?  Is it okay/better to
use both?(ie. have both enabled at the same time)  And since I've got lots
of memory(2.5 meg), how much is an "optimum" amount to assign to this?  Is one
of the two designed better than the other?  Are there inherent advantages to
using a CDA over a NDA? (or visa-versa?)

I'm sure there are other people who would be interested in hearing this
discussed.

						Thanks in advance,
