SMARTDRV.SYS is an older version of SmartDrive.  SMARTDRV.EXE is the
latest version.  You should use the later version if you want enhanced
performance (using write caching).  However, you should NOT use the
LOADHIGH command, because SmartDrive will automatically load high, and
you should let it do that itself.

The default is 2 MB outside of Windows, 0.5 MB inside Windows.  This is
reasonable, but you can change it around if your applications are
different.

Remove the spaces after the semicolons (;), and remove the last
semicolon.  The equal sign (=) is also not necessary.
