Can someone please recommend some disk caching programs for the
1040ST (1.0 ROMS)? Maybe a comparison of what is available?

I tried lcache but found noo doc files. I am not quite sure if I
used it correctly or if there is a bug in it.

I also tried dcache (Dijkstra). I believe it only caches read
buffers and not write. I would like to cache both read/write
operations (floppy and hard disks) and have control over
flushing the buffers (e.g. a 'sync' command).

PD, freeware, shareware, commercial--- all fine.
Thanks!
