	Yes, of course I know about AddBuffers.  I thought I made it clear
that what Addbuffers does is NOT what is needed (or am I wrong? Does
AddBuffers cache sectors or tracks?)

	In any case what currently exists is almost useless.  It helps
a little on directories, and very small executables, but not much else.
I want to be able to read two semi-long files off disk at the same time 
without a track to track every 512 bytes, as is happenning currently.

	I think that multiple track buffering WITHOUT sector caching (or
reserving sector caching to accesses which are way off key) would work
an order of magnitude better than the current scheme.
