Don't worry about it smashing your hard disc.  It simply replaces all the
slower GEM disc access routines with faster assmebly language ones.  You'll
love it since it turns your hard disc into a speed demon.  It also eliminates 
a lot of the TOS bugs like the infamous 40 folder limit.

The multi tasking is really just a potential.  It provides the pipes and speed
needed for effective multi tasking.  Software that takes advantage of this is
supposed to allow multi tasking.

The only problem I had with PowerDos is with programs that like to be at the
top of RAM (like CodeHeads RAMdisc).  PowerDOS won't let these load after it,
so you will have to put any programs that must be at top before running
PowerDOS.
