- EMC110 is version 1.10 of EMMCACHE. For users of EMMCACHE, the following
- is a summary of the significant differences. More detailed information is
- contained in the accompanying file EMC110.DOC.
-
- 1. The use of DOS memory has been reduced. The base size of the
- installed program is slightly larger, but the amount of DOS memory used for
- each page of expanded memory has been cut in half. EMC110 also releases its
- copy of the DOS environment.
-
- 2. The cache can be resized, disabled and uninstalled. These features
- work in a DOS shell as well as in a Desqview window.
-
- 3. Caching is done on both read and write.
-
- 4. Since the DOS 3.3 disk BIOS supports multi-track reads, corresponding
- support has been added to EMC110. The information required for this support is
- obtained via subfunction 8 of interrupt 13h, and EMC110 refuses to cache disks
- which are not reported by this subfunction. As a result it is possible that
- disks which were cached by EMMCACHE will not be not be cached by EMC110.
-
- 5. The one known bug in EMMCACHE has been corrected. Requests for data
- transfers directly between disk and expanded memory weren't handled correctly.
