Steve Burd Says 4-GB UIDE Works Fine! (Announce)

Today, after announcing the 16-Nov-2009 UIDE with 4-GB caching, Steve Burd of
this forum wrote me and offered to test the new UIDE on his REAL 4-GB system!
I accepted his gracious offer, and this evening, Steve has replied:

> ... I created a 2047-MB file (just short of 2GB as my dos partition is
> fat32) and copied the file from the root to a secondary folder. First
> read of the new copy read at normal drive speed, 2nd read at 397mb/
> second, 3rd read 600mb/second. Caching fine!
>
> Next a compare of the two copies using Freedos FC v2.22 "FC" reported
> no differences.

THANK YOU, Steve -- Exactly what I wanted to hear, and other users can now be
assured that the new UIDE with up to 4-GB caching works fine!
