Aptiva - Converting from DoubleSpace or DriveSpace to Stacker

Applicable to: United States

If you are installing PC-DOS 7.0 on your system, Stacker will be able to use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace compressed drives without a problem. During installation, Stacker will offer to convert the compressed drives to the Stacker format, and it is recommended that this be done. This will provide you with better disk compression in most cases, plus it will allow the Stacker driver to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS to replace the DBLSPACE.BIN driver. This will result in a substantial decrease in the amount of memory needed for the driver.
