My VL-bus 486DX2 has a hdd cache controller card with 4mb installed on it. Is it pointless to load smartdrv as well? I am running Dos 6.22 my 1gb hdd is on the controller but my cd-rom is running from my soundblaster.

Thanks

After testing I have found smartdrv to cause crashes on all my dos pc's with games using the doom engine. So I have stopped loading it at start up and now only load it if I need to copy alot of files via the command line.
