Hi!

About write-behind caching: I do not have W98 under hands to check this out. Just search in the "Control Panel->System", somewhere in the properties of drives etc. - it is in different places under different OS.

>>>I'm running a system on a small W98 Peer-to-Peer network (4 workstations). Not an ideal but that is what I have to work with. Thing is on two computers I have been losing data from buffered views. I haven't figured out why but think that may be a temporary or partial solution would be to flush the data to disk more often than the automatic flushing (5 minutes?)
