I run stacker off a scuzi drive and a esdi drive.  The claims that it
actually doubles your disk space are a bit far fetched because how much
space you pick up truly depends upon how many zip files you have on board,
but if you dont have a lot of zip files, stacker has proven to be quite
reliable for the people that I know that use it.  On the other hand if you
DO have a lot of zip files you will find very little use in using stacker
as it appears to double every file in size when you put them on the system.
The only problem I have found with Stacker is that when you use Emm386 in
hidos, Stacker will cause errors in certain games and or software.
