I believe the UIDE driver is indeed better, but I also got the impression that, as a result of a flamewar on BTTR, the UIDE driver is no longer open source...? You are invited to help Japheth to make UIDE32, should you change your mind about that :-). Talking about XCDROM32, Japheth afair did get the impression that it is still very similar to UIDE's CDROM engine? Of course it lacks a cache but XCDROM itself is good - even though it is old. So thanks for making XCDROM open source back then. I know that you and Japheth are both capable programmers... but also that that does not make you immune to flamewars ;-). And yes, re-learning things can be fun, but learning from existing open source code certainly is fun, too :-).
