I've also used TurboDOS for a while, and am very happy with
this product (except for chewing up 103 K of my precious RAM). From
what I've learned, it does more than just caching. It intercepts
some i/o calls (as braner pointed out) and speeds them up, and supposedly
fixes the famous 40-folder bug (note the 'supposedly') too. The result
is much faster disk accesses, etc. You should be seeing this posted
to the net soon. TurboDOS is from Atari FRANCE, and is available
from Atari Germany BBS and the server at Houston.
Has anyone any news about PP Pro?
Also a new product called SHADOW just came out. It's the commercial
version of dctran.acc (the PD demo that was posted here ages ago) and is
marketed by ANTIC for $29.95. Features:
i) full background download and upload from
ANY program (.TOS, .TTP, .PRG ). Amazing.
ii) VT-52 emulator
iii) RAMDISK/buffer user re-configuration
iv) Xmodem CRC / checksum / 1 K/ ASCII
v) Compu-Serve B Protocol
