My 486/33 running DOS 5.0 has too good of a memory, not
recognizing when I swap 5 1/4" disks.

For software, I have experimented with read/write caching under
SMARTDRV and the caching options under the system setup.

Have not toyed with hardware.

Please send suggestions via e-mail:

  or    joe_d@erchp2.erc.montana.edu

I will buy the fixer a soda/beer, draw them a cartoon, or offer some other 
heartfelt token that's not all too expensive.  Thank you in advance.
