I am looking for a disk cache (preferably for floppies, PD or commercial) with
these features:

- able to buffer whole track when accessing one sector (yes I have  a lot of
  ram, although this being an option would be nice)

- buffering writes, and when flushing, sorting the sectors by numbers so that
  it can do a smooth fast single-direction head movement

- allocating buffers in Fast Ram

Or other nice features (automatic bufferring of headers, do not buffer "big"
reads...)

Does FaccII or BlitzDisk have these features? 
Are there other such programs available?
Do they work with FFS?
Did you use them?
Did they trashed your disks ? :-)
etc...
