- I know for a fact that the Daystar cache works fine! I believe that the
- cache CDEV no longer works under A/UX but as long as the cache is enabled
- under MacOS before A/UX is botted, the cache will stay enabled. (The same
- applies for the QuadraCaches by Daystar...)

- Well, with jagubox, I just hope I'm here when the power goes off and my
- UPS gets low. I don't have any software that does a nice shutdown like
- it should. I'm lucky that the UPS gets used mostly for short brownouts
- and when the power goes out for a sec or two...
