- To add another perspective on this ...
-
- I'm running GA+CSD on a 386-33 8Mb with PDII using the supplied 1024x768x256
- Tseng drivers. I've got my harddrive split about 50/50 between FAT and HPFS.
-
- After about 2 weeks of running under this setup, I'm not seeing any of the
- problems with the .INI files growing. I've been in and out of settings, DOS
- applications, WINOS2 applications and OS/2 applications. You may be onto
- something with the 16bit drivers idea.
