This article was previously published under Q84015 SUMMARY
According to Adaptec documentation, using the Adaptec 1740 controller
with Windows in enhanced mode or with the EMM386.SY/EMM386.EXE device
driver requires a double buffering device driver.
However, if SMARTDrive (SMARTDRV.EXE) version 4.0 from Microsoft
Windows version 3.1, is installed to perform double buffering, it may
not detect that double buffering is required. If you are using
SMARTDrive version 4.0, you can force SMARTDrive to perform double
buffering by loading it with "/DOUBLE_BUFFER+". For example:
device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+
If you are not using Windows 3.1, you can force SMARTDRV.SYS from
MS-DOS 5.0 or Windows 3.0 to perform double buffering by loading it
with "/b+". For example:
device=c:\dos\smartdrv.sys /b+
