- So, should I REM out the DISKCACHE line in config.sys if I am only running
- HPFS disks? Maybe just setting DISKCACHE=0 ...

- Could doing this free up some real memory now being used for this not used
- often cache on a HPFS-only system? Could this have an adverse effect on
- floppy (FAT) accesses?
-
- Just a thought,
