I installed the accompanied device driver in my config.sys and : also put smartdrv in my autoexec.bat. It looks like my smartdrv is : taking away 2mb of my memory. What I wanted to know is how to make : sure the caching contoller`s memory is used. I confess, I do not know what VLB means, but I do think that your caching controller is supposed to do memory caching for the CPU and NOT hard-disk caching. So smartdrv has to take away some memory if you want that too. Peter
