David:
I have Dos 6.2 with Smartdrv 5.0 with no switches attached to the command line.
Furthermore with your suggestion and many others I've remmed out Smartdrv and
already feel I don't need any more Excedrin Extra Strength capsules!! <G>
Thanks for your help as well as all those who confirmed your solution.
Jerry
Jerry,
With Smartdrv 5.0, just add the switches /x (to disable writeback
cache), and /v (this will give you a readout telling you which drives are being
cached and how – read and write). Windows runs like a dog without Smartdrive,
or another software cache, so I keep it running, even with 3ds and have had no
problems, writeback disabled of course. Every once in a while I'll run without
it if I want that little extra bit of memory for rendering.
