Hypo, there is a misconception in your thoughts. I don't act unreasonable. As you might be able to realize, all the drivers - HIMEMX, XCDROM32 and XDMA32 - were released at times when your master had installed his little embargos. And the intention behind these action was to make him learn that his drivers are important, but not ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, and his embargos are therefore a waste of time. Some pain can drastically increase the learning effect, so it is indeed appreciated that Jack was slightly upset (thanks for confirming that!), but this is just a side effect.

Yes, the highly optimized UIDE might be slightly faster than the combination XDMA32 + LBACACHE, but almost nobody will care. It's just this famous 0.1% part of users who does.
