  I would like to know if there is any way to communicate with SMARTDRV.SYS
that comes with MS-DOS 4.01. I would primarily like to know if it is
possible to turn the cache on and off, and reset it.
  I ask because I had a 3M cache on a disk, and when I ran Norton's Speed
Disk, I ended up with a totally scrambled disk. I'm not certain if Speed
Disk caused the problem or not, since I'm also having other problems with
this thing. (It's a Seagate ST4096 in a 6MHz IBM AT, formatted with
DiskManager since the AT's BIOS doesn't understand the 4096.)
