At my office I stacked the C drive and because it (C) really doesn't change much it hasn't been much of a problem. On my workstation, however, I have four different startup batch files that I use depending which hardware/ software I need. eg. Action Animator won't start with QEMM 7.01but likes QEMM 6 or DOS Himem.sys. Always changing the c: startup and the size of my windows swap file prompted me to leave stacker off of the c: drive. I have three physicals currently and just ordered a 1.3 Gig SCSI II with an adaptec adapter. I don't plan on stacking the 1.3 drive because its for frame grabbing and as such won't compress anyway. Personnally, I never had the nightmares using stacker that I heard on this forum, however I did have a few close calls. Saved by good backup discipline. I have a hard time remembering to only use the stacker utilities on those drives. When changing a config.sys and autoexec.bat ALWAYS use the F9 to update the dupe files when prompted or you can indeed quickly loose track of what's what especially when using QEMM's optimize. Somewhat like playing 3D chess while viewing the boards through a mirror.
