Short: Floppy cacher w. memhandler (OS3+) Author: Stefan Hochmuth Uploader: maurer informatik tu-muenchen de Type: disk/cache Architecture: m68k-amigaos TITLE CacheIt - floppy cacher with lowmem-handler (OS3+) VERSION 1.0 (09.06.94) AUTHOR Stefan Hochmuth DESCRIPTION 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. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS - OS 3.0 (V39) or higher - at least one floppy drive ;-) HOST NAME wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) [AmiNet] (and any other AmiNet mirror) DIRECTORY /pub/aminet/disk/cache FILE NAMES CacheIt10.lha CacheIt10.readme DISTRIBUTABILITY Freeware
