I'm running SuperStor v2.04 on a 386SX/16 with a 80 Meg Western Digital harddrive. No problems, no noticeable speed decrease, and the superstored floppies are rather nice at times. I've been putting some of my smaller software packages(like games mostly) on these floppies to save space on my harddrive. IMHO, SuperStor is better, at least for me. It gives equivalent performance as Stacker, and I bought it for $50, vs. $99 for Stacker. You decide, but you won't go wrong either way. -- Steve Sheldon sheldon@iastate.edu Iowa Cooperative Soil Survey Resource Unit 2142 Agronomy, Iowa State University (515) 294-5429
