CacheIt 1.0 Small floppy-caching commodity
I don't use floppy disks very often. But when I used them I was
bored by the slow speed.
To get rid of this, I wrote CacheIt. CacheIt is a small floppy-
caching commodity that hardly doesn't take up any memory when no
disks are in drive and gives a great speed up for your floppies.
Another requirement for CacheIt was, that it would free its memory
when the system needs it. This is done by a low memory handler.
It works fantastically: I worked a lot with disks and my system
was down at 10 KB Chip and 10 KB FastMem, when I tried to start
a terminal program.
No problem: CacheIt released as much track buffers as necessary
and the terminal program started!
CacheIt works with DD and HD floppy drives.
