Johnson Lam has posted an updated 5-Jun-2015 DRIVERS.ZIP file with a single XIDE driver, in his "dropbox" at: <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15785527/dos/file/drivers.zip>
XIDE is now a single driver, using a /P switch to request high-speed "protected caching", also a /X switch to disable overlap of UltraDMA disk I-O with caching on an "old" or "odd" mainboard requiring this. XIDE's overlap of UltraDMA disk input with caching is also improved. Versus UIDE, the 5-Jun-2015 XIDE now offers up to 10% greater speed! Note also that my support for the old UIDE driver is now TERMINATED, due to Rugxulo's continuing "MAD Dog!" GRUDGE against me, that began with his following 17-Mar-2015 post on BTTR: <http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=14140> Rugxulo is "miffed" that I refused to follow his ideas for upgrading my PC, after SourceForge made virtually "overnight" changes to their Internet security certificates, which I think was a MISTAKE! But, Rugxulo went on sending me more ideas, although I asked him at-least twice to "Send me NO MORE E-Mails"! If in the above post, he calls this "arguing" with me, Rugxulo is a LIAR!! It was only HE who was intruding on ME, and nothing more!! Rugxulo now takes EVERY chance he can to ATTACK me, as can be viewed in all his FD-User and BTTR posts since 17-Mar-2015. He is correct in only one thing: After his having recommended UIDE for years, his above post is the reason I made the new XIDE a closed-source driver. My drivers ALWAYS work, as they are always CHECKED by Johnson Lam or by "Khusraw" (both, if their time allows) before Johnson posts them! And if, after so long, Rugxulo now thinks he can make my using V6.22 MS-DOS into a FreeDOS driver "issue", Rugxulo is "Blowing SMOKE!" to make himself look good, and he should be considered only as a FAKE!! I'll BE DAMNED before I merely "give away" any more of my sources in the face of Rugxulo's BACKSTABBING! XIDE will remain closed-source and I plan NEVER to do any more open-source work: Too many absolute FREAKS and "MAD Dogs!" to put-up with!! Please do NOT address any further UIDE questions/comments to me. I now regard it as "defunct", and you now know why. Jack R.
