I have been running stacker for over 1 week now. I have a 386sx with a Connor
3204 200 MB IDE Drive running Dos 4.01. I have had NO problems whatsoever
and all utilities run well with no noticable slowdown in disk access. It took
approximately 2 hours to convert all my files to the stacker partition. I am
running the software only version. Needless to say, I am impressed. :-)
Main Concern: My stacker partition reports 230 MB Used with 166 MB free. I now
cannot "unstacker" my drive without cleaning off over 30 MB of programs/data.
Since I have noticed no compatability problems (Dos 4.01/Dos 5.0 Beta/ Dr Dos),
this is really a moot point. If you are running DR Dos, drive swapping is not
supported, so all of your paths have to change :-(
I am not sure how the money back guaranty works. It says to return to place of
purchase. This is not acceptable when place of purchase does not take returns on
software...
If you buy the software version, there is acoupon to upgrade to the HW version for
$99. If anyone has the coprocessor board, I`d be interested in their findings
