- In the windows 386 setup there is an option for a permanent disk swapfile.
- The manual mentions that some disk support 32 bit disk access bypassing the
- BIOS for faster read/writes. However, when i called the local computer shop
- and asked if they stocked drives that supported this they didn't know....
-
- questions:
-
- Is this a list of 100-200 meg hard drives that are certified to use 32bit
- disk accesses with windows 3.1? apologies if this is a faq - i looked but
- din't see one..
-
- if there is no list - those with disks that DO support this feature can
- email me (nickerso@uwovax.uwo.ca) their drive model. I will compile the
- list and post...
-
- thanks
