- Umm, why wouldn't it get along with the cache on?

- You don't, unless the Q425 supports the vendor specific cache mode select
- (page 37h). The 105LPS and the L105PS supports this.

- If you _really_ want to turn the cache off (which would slow down the
- performance on small reads/writes), then:
-
- CacheMode (unitnumberhere) 0 1 0 0
-
- This turns off the cache and prefetch.
