Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad, to report about the
Turbo Cache software Peripheral Land (PLI) provide with their hard
drives and Syquest drive?

I've been comparing the features/specs on about a dozen incarnations of
the Syquest removable 45MB cartridge drive.  A local dealer claimed that
the PLI software (Turbo Cache, Turbo Optimizer, Turbo Spool, and Turbo
Backup) was *much* better than what other packages provided.  When I
spoke to a product manager at PLI, he said that Turbo Cache was a
"intelligent" RAM cache that *significantly* boosted performance for
usage patterns that had heavy disk access.  He claimed that a 25MS disk
would appear to have an effective access time of 8MS and cited
improvements of as much as 2-3X.  All of this sounds great, but a bit
unbelievable.  I don't use the Apple RAM cache because I'd rather have a
slower system with a reduced chance of damaged disk files.  How is Turbo
Cache different?

Thanks for any info ...
