6-May-09   Added the non-caching UIDEJR ["junior" UIDE] driver, using
              only 768 upper-memory and 2528 HMA bytes!    UIDE/UIDEJR
              now run up to 10 controllers, 36 disks, 8 CD/DVD drives.

 1-May-09   Fixed XMGR "Port 92h" logic error.  Added XMGR /PA and /PN
              switches to control use of "Port 92h" logic.

Users wishing a smaller driver can use the non-caching UIDEJR ["junior"
UIDE].   UIDEJR also runs up to 10 SATA or IDE controllers, 36 SATA/IDE
hard-disks and 8 SATA/IDE/"PIO mode" CD/DVD drives.   It needs only 768
bytes of upper-memory and 2528 bytes of HMA.   Its /N2 switch dismisses
all CD/DVD logic, giving a disk-only driver taking 768 upper-memory and
848 HMA bytes.   UIDEJR can also load entirely in upper- or DOS memory.
It allocates a 128K XMS memory buffer, so "misaligned" I-O can still be
done at UltraDMA speeds.    UIDEJR can play audio CDs and also do "raw"
(trackwriter) CD/DVD input.
