As you may or may not remember MS-DOS 6.x HiMem.Sys had a limit on 64MB of
RAM. By using himem.sys from w95osr2 I was able to see all the 96MB's in
the schools machines (so the limit is unknown).
Now, I wanted something like smartdrv.exe that could use more than 32MB of
RAM (preferly 64MB). I tried the one from w95osr2 today (smartdrv v. 5.02).
It couldn use more but not much - 37416K is the max you can use (a little
more than 36.5M).
So I pass along the question in hope that someone knows of a disk cache
that can use *more* (thanks for the tips and programs earlier on - but they
all performed worse <G>) than this. Does anyone have win98 installed for
instance? Perhaps someone can tell us what the max is with that? If you
don't have more than 32MB of RAM you can perhaps send me smartdrv.exe.
Of course if it says it's v. 5.02 there's no point in testing.
Perhaps I should settle with making a 64MB RAMDrive (not doable with MS-DOS
6's ramdrive.sys - xmsdsk.exe can IIRC) and put Arachne on it (or atleast
Arachne's cache).
Still when prices get low enough (should be soon with win00 coming out) I
might buy more RAM (to 128 or 192), and it would be reasonable that the
memmory also can be used for something in my computer.
Side effect of w95osr2 smartdrv.exe: 7040 bytes more of memmory is used. :(
