> UHDD now runs from a 28-byte parameter table, as described in
> its UHDD.TXT file. UDVD2 now accepts a /S cache-size switch
> (same values up to 4-GB as for UHDD/UIDE), to set a "private"
> CD/DVD cache using such a table! Without /S, UDVD2 works as
> before, using UHDD's "common" cache! Other user drivers can
> do the same! Video-game players can load UHDD and then load
> UDVD2 /S700 (or less), and the entire CD game will get cached
> privately, same as a RAM-disk! "CD/DVD only" users can load
> UHDD /Snnn /N1, then load UDVD2 with no /S switch -- /N1 will
> save 848 bytes and make UHDD a "cache only" driver that UDVD2
> can still call! Users of disks and CDs/DVDs can run on only
> UHDD's cache as before, set a "private" CD/DVD directory-only
> cache with UDVD2 /S15 /UD, or have a full "private" cache for
> CDs/DVDs with UDVD2 /Snnn (no /UD). UCACHE2 deleted, since
> UHDD now runs MULTIPLE caches including its own! No changes
> to XMGR, RDISK, or UIDE except re-dating them to 26-Aug-2013.
