- Well, I am using a SSTOR also (the one from DRDOS 6.0) on two machines
- and neither one of them has a problem with WOLF3d, but I have not tried
- the Castle Wolfenstein (is it a same game?).
-
- All in all the SSTOR works, but if you have the money for a bigger disk
- go for it. Do not trust any compression programs, unless you do the regular
- backups.
