#E.1.2.7 Notes:

#Specifying the Initial Memory Cache: SMARTDRV.SYS rounds the value you

#specify for the InitCacheSize parameter to the nearest multiple of 16. If

#you plan to run an application that uses expanded or extended memory,

#specify a cache size that leaves enough memory for that application after

#SMARTDRV.SYS is installed.

#If there is not enough memory to create a cache of the size you specify,

#SMARTDRV.SYS creates a smaller cache, using the available memory.

#Using Extended Memory: For SMARTDRV.SYS to use extended memory, you must

#first install HIMEM.SYS or other extended-memory manager that conforms to

#the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft/AST (**) Extended Memory Specification (XMS).

#In the CONFIG.SYS file, the DEVICE command that installs the

#extended-memory manager must precede the DEVICE command that installs

#SMARTDRV.SYS.

#Using Expanded Memory: For SMARTDRV.SYS to use expanded memory, you must

#configure your system to provide expanded memory. In the CONFIG.SYS file,

#the DEVICE command that installs the expanded-memory manager must precede

#the DEVICE command that installs SMARTDRV.SYS. The expanded-memory

#manager must conform to the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory

#Specification (LIM EMS). See Appendix C, "Installing the EMS Memory

#Manager" in topic C.0.

#Using SMARTDRV.SYS: If you place the disk cache in extended memory, you

#will probably have the best results.

#You Cannot Run the Disk Compaction Program: To avoid losing data, do not

#run any disk-compaction program while SMARTDRV.SYS is loaded.
