I know that Dave is a fan of this particular configuration; but I would
caution you that, if you follow his advice, you do so at your own risk. I
have personal knowledge of someone who turned on write-behind cacheing
under DOS and rendered their drive a meaningless jumble of bytes.
OTOH, I am sure that there are dozens of people on this reflector who, like
Dave, use this command and have never had any problem with it.
