Does anybody know of a good RAM CACHE program or algorythm?
Asynch read-ahead, and write would be nice, along with demand
based purging.

Such things are available for other machines, and appearantly
save you some of the grief of powering down the ram disk before
you've put it back on floppy. I've also heard they're real nice
with hard drives. I know very little about them exept that they
make a machine look like it's running faster.

Is this an OS/Driver hack?
