Make it bigger if you have over 8 Megs. I'm running WFWG 3.11 and using 32bit disk access. I have 12 megs of ram. What should the two sets of numbers be? >After booting up, you can check how smartdrv came out by >going to the DOS prompt (not a dos window) and writing >smartdrv /s After doing so I got the following: room for 128 elements of 8,192 bytes each there has been 5,733 cache hits and 2,545 cache misses cache size 1,048,576 bytes Does this look ok?
