DOS ain't dead

No "ASPI", Only "IDE" In UIDE. (Announce)

Sorry, but as its name implies, UIDE works only with "IDE" devices.

ASPI is a NIGHTMARE, and firms like Adaptec or Iomega are NOT friendly about
providing DOS specs. Others who know ASPI can call UIDE's "external drive"
logic or add a new "internal driver" to cache such drives. I lost 6 months
trying to write a ZIP driver, gave up and got a nice Gigabyte "Combo CD/DVD"
using ATAPI. Much less expensive, anyway. No more ASPI or Iomega for me!
