Well, on my 386/16, Windows is in D:\WIN3.
My swap file is on C: (3MB swap file)

It appears to work.

But then again, when it swaps it seems to take FOREVER (like 5-15 sec).
Meanwhile everything is locked up.  Anyone else have this problem?

I've got a 65MB RLL drive in 3 22MB partitions (using plain old MS-DOS 3.3 - 
definately no DMDRIVER.BIN) and a DTC 7287 PC/AT 1:1 interleave controller
