Hi, IcE reminded me that LBAcache would panic when NDD tried to
access funky "CHS with more than 1024 cyl" functions of some BIOS
enhancers like EzDrive or OnTrack Drive Manager or SWBIOS. I added
code to make those function calls fail and uploaded LBAcache again
(still lbacache-09may2004.zip). Hope this solves the problem. I think
NDD will just use normal LBA calls if it cannot find the funky stuff.

If not, I would have to make LBAcache process those calls properly,
but then I wonder how DOS kernel is supposed to be able to use more
than 1024 cyl drives... Only hint in RBIL was "Win95b MBR tries to
detect..." - but then even Win9x understands normal standard LBA.

Let me know if Norton Disk Doctor is still happy with LBAcache.

(Especially on drives where EzDrive or OnTrack is installed...)

Eric
