The Adaptec 1742 drivers on Hobbes have a later date than those supplied with the GA release. 1. Are they better drivers? Will I notice a difference? 2. How do I go about installing them? A simple change in the config.sys? *** Is there a way to increase the hard disk cache? My system has 16MB RAM and still hits the HD more than I like. Admittedly, this is when I am running Paradox 4.0, WordPerfect 5.1 and Darklands. The last is the culprit, I think. When inspecting a group of characters, Darklands seems to hit the disk a lot. When I was still using DOS, I upped my PCTools cache and stopped this. I have ben happily *using* OS/2 for four or five months without problems. ---- Paul Gunderson paulg@csd4.csd.uwm.edu
