Tom, Hopefully, you are not referring to the mis-information printed by that new Windows magazine. Even PC KWIK was surprised to learn that they cached CD-ROM's…they don't! Smartdrv also does not cache CD-ROM's. The review of Speedcache+ was deceptive in that the test was against a product that didn't even cache the CD-ROM drive. This type of misinformation from a magazine doesn't sit well with me. I don't doubt that SPEEDCACHE+ can work to some extent, but it's the exact same product as NORTON's cache, which we've tested, and doesn't use the patent pending technology that Speedway does (i.e. file caching). I'd like to hear your findings of Speedcache+ vs. CD Speedway.
