Interesting. I've used Hyperdisk for over a year with Qemm with no problems.

: I would eventually like to get Stacker 3.0 (or DOS 6.0) and I would like to
: know how any of these caches will work with Stacker.

I have used hyperdisk and sometimes smartdrv without problems. I had to drop
ncache because it just crashed on my old machine. Haven't tried it since.

: And before I get Stacker, should I keep using HyperDisk, of is NCache or
: Smartdrv actually "better" ?

I liked the GUI of the ncache setup, but the hyperdisk hotkeys and the number
of features make it a winner to me. As far as performance goes, I don't have
a clue.
