Friday I'll posting a new verion of PMFS to accomodate slower baud rates
and configurable built-in cache in the driver. The driver cache can be
anywhere from 0 slots (blocks) to as many as you have memory for. The
cache only caches Single Block I/O because 90% of these are you directory
and FAT read/writes. Just cacheing those is a great speed-up.
The cache is configured during the first installation of the driver.
Either type pmfs {blocks} from a CLI or rename pmfs.prg to pmfs.ttp and
pass the number of blocks in the dialog box.
I'll still looking for a way to emulate ? the GEM [ESC] key function.
Is this clearing TOS's cached directory blocks or something ? Where
do I find them to clear them myself ?
