- I'm not sure about the difference (if there is any). I have mine set up for
- dos with 1024 and win with 1024 (c:\smartdrv.exe 1024 1024). This seems to
- work fine, though I don't have things exactly optimized yet.

- ^ remove this semicolon.
- you also may want to take out the spaces between the directories.

- I don't know why this works in caps. It shouldn't matter.
