Thank you!

He announced the latest news that it now supports NVidia's multiple controllers with same PCI class data, and not the previous bigger news that it now supports SATA, but the smart DOS user will notice the magic word "SATA" and understand

Also, the new UDVD completely supersedes the modification of XCDROM by Mark Tsai. But because none of us the 3 beta-testers of Jack possesses a SATA CD-ROM or DVD drive (including the whole CS department of our university!), this is not tested. So, if anyone has this latest scream of the fashion, a test would be appreciated. The code is carefully checked and it should work, but Donald Knuth wrote in 1977: "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it."
