- I have used Stacker for a while. I wouldn't spend the money for the
- hardware board. I would get version 2.0. I would make sure
- everything was backed up. There is some risk to any file on the
- disk drive. This go ahead and stack everything (the default installation).
- Stacker keeps the required files on the native drive and does a nice job.
-
- It works best on a 386 or better system.
