UIDE vs. XDMA32 & XCDROM32 (Announce)

Yes, but these 1.75K can be in upper memory (so no low memory is used), if you specify DEVICEHIGH=UIDE.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, and it's for a HDD/CD/DVD cache size of up to 200MB (a few KB more are taken for a cache size of up to 1GB), whereas neither XDMA[32] nor XCDROM[32] do any caching. Plus there are other drawbacks of the old XDMA/XCDROM too (bugs, less control and compatibility, and so on).
