SMARTDRV.EXE--Double Buffering
 
Loads the SMARTDRV.EXE device driver to perform double buffering. Double
buffering provides compatibility for certain hard-disk controllers that
cannot work with memory provided by EMM386 or Windows running in 386
enhanced mode. To find out whether you need to use double buffering, see
<SMARTDRV.EXE--Notes>.
 
SMARTDrive can also perform disk caching, which can speed up your computer.
To use SMARTDrive for disk caching, add the <SMARTDRV> command to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
 
To use the double-buffering feature of SMARTDrive, the SMARTDRV.EXE device
driver must be loaded by a <DEVICE> command in your CONFIG.SYS file.
