- After seeing the large number of negative comments about Superstor, I
- should note that I have had no problem with Superstor on either of the
- two machines I run it on. It took me a couple of hours to figure out
- how to get SuperStor to do what I wanted the first time I tried, and I
- haven't had a problem since.
-
- One machine is a desktop which runs all the time, and has two hard
- disks, divided into 4 partitions, each partition has a disk, so I have
- a total of 8 logical drives once SuperStor boots up. (confusing, I
- know. One of these days I will actually clean it all up... Famous last
- words...) I run smartdrv on the host disks.
-
- The other machine is a notebook, which is constantly being switched
- off and on again. It has one disk, one partition, on which I have a
- large superstor container file. I run Smartdrv on the host disk.
-
- I've had a couple of problems with the disks getting corrupted, but I
- expected that, so I haven't been devastated by that happening. I
- haven't had a problem for a couple of months.
-
- The two machines are also connected together using Lantastic Z, and I
- run Smartdrv, 386MAX and Smartcan on drives of both machines. It took
- a bit of fiddling to get everything to coexist, but now everything
- works fine. Both machines run Win 3.1, and when the two are connected
- together, from the desktop I can run apps off the notebook.
-
- Getting Smartdrv, LantasticZ, 386Max and Superstor to work together
- took a couple of calls to tech support. I called Artisoft, Qualitas and
- Superstor, and generally had no problem with the tech support of
- either company. They were helpful, and faxed me various help sheets
- aimed at fixing my problems.
-
- cheers,
