DOS ain't dead

No More "Oldies"! (Miscellaneous)

Yes, I also think that write caching is not needed in this moment. We all know how dangerous it can be. F.e. combination of driver Hyperdsk.exe and (beautiful) game Furry of the furies always resulted in damage of game files
Anyway - there is a huge room for improvements in FreeDOS kernel for it.

But I see two points which could be improved id UIDE:
1) option for disabling the CD/DVD module
why: it doesn't work with my LiteOn DVD drive if it contains a DVD disc. (for CD discs is it OK)
(now I have a different DVD drive, so it is not so important for me... ...And this issue is not specific only for UIDE - many others CD/DVD drivers has problems with LiteOn)

2) add option for creating cache above 4MB of memory.
why: SB emulation drivers use this area (under 4MB boundary). When is it already occupied by UIDE (UIDE is loaded in config.sys and SB in autoexec.bat or "on demand"), SB emulation will not start.
