Note: Unless it caches my HARD DISK drive it would be of little use to me...

Does it buffer the hard disk drive?

And if it doesn't, can I whip out a filezap and change the OpenDevice call to
open my hard disk driver instead?

And the guys at ASDG should note that the addbuffers for my hard disk come out
of FAST ram not CHIP ram. :) (Nothing special here, just setup my mountlist
for non-CHIP since the MicroForge uses the CPU to push the bits. And for those
that have asked, my MOUNTable MF driver will be up shortly)
