One of the big problems I remember with Smartdrive is that
people would shut the system down before all the cache had been
written to the disk. On any machine I set up, I always made it a
point to put:
Smartdrv /c
In a batch file called SHUT.BAT and I'd execute it to flush
the RAM prior to shutting down.
