- QCACHE.ZIP 506204 03-08-94 QuickCache II is a disk caching program. It

- | to the drive. Typical speed increase vary
- | from 4x on a 55ms hard disk to 14x on a
- | floppy. The 10k of memory for the system does
- | not include cache memory, but extended or
- | expanded memory may be used for that. You can
- | also Lock Down disk directory sectors, which
- | insures that they will always be available in
