Hi Mercury,

If you ask me: UHDD (only UIDE and UDVD2 listed yet?) and the
new HIMEMX version by Japheth, as discussed here recently :-)

HIMEMX should get some tests in particular by users of either
ancient or very modern computers and that would get easier if
a package would be available :-) Background: Japheth has added
his own advanced parsing for int 15.e820 results (different
from the old Pemberton fork) and uses a special sequence of
"mov cr0,eax; jz $ + 2", maybe for CPU compatibility reasons.

Japheth drops int 15.8a calls: Very few old computers worked
better with those calls, but the Pemberton fork failed to do
sufficient checks whether the call actually is supported, so
that forked version was worse for various modern computers.

Thank you :-) Eric
