6.1 Accessing Floppy Disk Drives on Older COMPAQ DESKPROS

   On some COMPAQ DESKPRO  386/16 and 386/20 computers,  you might experience
   problems accessing floppy disks when SMARTDrive  version 4.0 is installed.
   To work around the problem, you can try one of the following solutions:

   . Place  the SMARTDrive  buffer into  low memory  by adding  the following
     option to the smartdrv command line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

     smartdrv /L

   . Disable  the  caching on  floppy  disk drives  by  adding  the following
     options to the smartdrv command line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

     smartdrv A- B-

   For more  information about  these  options, see  Chapter  14, "Optimizing
   Windows," in the Microsoft Windows User's Guide.
