Hi Santiago, list, to follow-up myself on caches and CDROM:

Of course it does not help to have two caches in parallel,
so if you use lbacache or cdrcache, you should switch off
the caching functionality in UIDE.

The XCDROM / GCDROM family of CD / DVD / BD drivers is too
outdated to be recommended any more, so I am happy to find
out that UIDEJR,  a reduced variant of UIDE, can be loaded
either in harddisk-only mode or in CD/DVD/BD-only mode for
less than 2 kilobytes each! And it has regular updates :-)

So a special reminder to distro experts like Bernd Blaauw:
Please have a look at UIDEJR as an universal CD/DVD driver!

Of course you still add SHSUCDX after UIDEJR to let DOS
understand the CD/DVD/BD ISO9660 filesystem and let you
access the files on CD/DVD/BD using a DOS drive letter.

Eric



PS: Maybe somebody else could write a few words about
state, speed, quality and stability of the two DOS USB
drivers by http://bretjohnson.us/ and www.dosusb.net/
as more details would be quite interesting for me :-)
