This significantly speeds up repetitive disk seeks (useful for program development). I am currently using SmartDrive from MicroSoft which comes with the MicroSoft Windows 286 package. Using the Cache is like the RAMdrive except it keeps track of approximately 500K of the most recently called programs. Now where did that .signature file go? Ray Frush.
