SMARTDRV
SMARTDRV
is a disk-caching program that reduces the time
it takes your computer to read data from the hard disk.
When
SMARTDRV
is installed, information from the hard
disk is temporarily stored in a cache in Extended or
Expanded memory. When needed, the data can be accessed
by the processor directly from the cache memory. The data
on the hard disk is updated automatically to reflect the
changes in the data stored in the cache.
Installing SMARTDRV .SYS
To install
SMARTDRV.SYS
in its simplest form, include the
following command line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
In this form, a 256-KB cache will be set up in Extended
memory.
If you need to specify a particular size for the cache, or if
you want the cache to be in Expanded memory, refer to
your
MS-DOS
and Windows manuals.
