Recently, I posted a message concerning my problems with getting GS/OS to
recognize my Apple 20SC hard drive.  I have solved this problem.  Apparently,
there was an Apple SCSI ROM (revision C) upgrade that I had been unaware of,
and after calling around and locating a dealer with the upgrade in-stock (I'm
impatient after receing my GS/OS disks and not being able to use them right
away! :-), I had the upgrade done and am currently happy with the results.
GS/OS likes my Apple hard drive!

However, I have a request.  There's no documentation available to end-users
on the cache yet, but I would very much like the ability to have more control
over it.  Specifically, I place certain files in the /RAM volume to speed up
some abilities of my BBS.  However, with the cache invoked, it also caches
the /RAM volume, thus slowing down /RAM file access times.  Can something be
done about this that wouldn't hinder the "application transparent" /RAM
media?  If caching could be turned off for certain drives, it would be a
wonderful addition.
