But this code seems to do HDD reset that may flush internal hardware HDD cache (it maybe pretty large on new drives: 32-64MB!) but not software cache like smartdrv, etc.

Hm, seems to be complicated - need to probe or blindly try to flush all posslible cache programs released in entire Universe...
Eric Auer pointed me on his flush.asm which flushes 7 known caches.
I'll see but maybe I rather leave it on user to flush cache because he know the best which cache program he use...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
