I am using a disk with more capacity than 8.4 Gb, certainly.
The disk itself is 13Gb, and I use a driver made by Ontrack to access
partitions outside the 8.4 gigabyte range.  I am not using a partition
bigger than 2.1 gigabytes.

I tried hyperdisk again, it was not one of the two I mentioned earlier,
because it did not make the shortlist.  I was using a program to evaluate disk
caches.  NWcache took approximately 40 seconds, Smartdrive 30, Hyperdisk took
more than 500 seconds to complete the tests.  This was with staged write and
buffers ranging from 8-20 MB.
