Both of my hard drives, the ICD F.A.S.T. 85 and the Megafile 30,
have finally learned to live together in peace, harmony and
sibdom (brother/sisterhood).

Now, how should I set up caching for the best effect under TOS 1.4?
I have turned off write caching in the ICDBOOT driver (it scares
the dung out of me), but I have to choose among using only
Atari's CACHEnnn.PRG (which is _very_ fast), ICDBOOT's built-in
read caching, or some combination of the two. Any suggestions? Is
CACHEnnn.PRG safe to use with ICDBOOT, or does it need AHDI?

This question is probably of enough general interest to warrant
replies directly to the net. Thanks.
