- Vince, your discourse on SCSI controllers and SMARTDRV was enlightening!
- But let me ask one further question. What happens if you delete the
- SMARTDRV invocation from AUTOEXEC.BAT but NOT from CONFIG.SYS? (In other
- words, the opposite of what the original question was) Would this not
- tend to set you up for disk death as well?
-
- I had a feeling that the SCSI controller with its on-board controller was
- the reason for the double-buffering, and I'm glad to find that my feeling
- was correct. Thanks again!
