I seem to remember something from a few months ago about Blitzdisk being incompatible with FFS. Is this true?

Yes, Charlie Heath made many postings on BIX about this in an attempt to spread the word. He has since released Blitzdisk2 available as a patch from BIX which works fine with FFS (at least for me with a CLTD drive). BD2 also has some new features like statistics reporting, holding the cache for a removed floppy, and now caches drives rather than devices.

However, if you are a registered user, Charlie Heath made a fix available (I know it's on PeopleLink). The fix upgrades it to version 2.0 and this version *IS* FFS compatible. He (Charlie) will be including the new version on the TxEd 2.02 upgrade.
