Tom,
I don't know what you mean by "non-standard drives." I run Arachne on two
machines. both with a C: primary drive and an extended DOS partition that has
logical drives D: thru K: and Arachne resides on logical drive I: on both.
Both machines have a RAM drive (L: drive on one; M: drive on the other) on
which I keep my TEMP, CACHE, CACHE.idx files and I have no problems with
cache deletion using F8 (except hating the new re-load procedure). One
machine has an external modem (28.8) and the other has an internal (33.6)
modem.
I just dropped a 30GB drive into one of the machines, using Promise's
DriveMax BIOS update card, but haven't transferred any files to it yet.
