DOS ain't dead - Hitting The Road.

Hitting The Road. (Announce)

First, why don't you read Tom Ehlert's 10-Feb-2006 FD-Devel post, where
he calls XCDROM "stupid", after having praised UDMA (he still has it in
his software distro) and without even ASKING me beforehand if there may
have been REASONS for why XCDROM differed from XDMA.

From his post in 2006, I had REASONS today for still feeling just-a-bit
"skeptical" about Tom, which is why I replied in such a "tone". Also,
I refused Tom's requests because there ARE "bigger fish to fry". UDMA
cannot go over 4.5K because Lucho's "boot" diskettes are LOADED, with 0
spare sectors even AFTER using the 2 diagnostic cylinders that few even
KNOW about! And UDMA still must "deal with" ADMA/AHCI controllers for
SATA, with 81 bytes left! I will find a way, but it will NOT be easy!

I do NOT use FreeDOS. I and many others have tried it in the past and
it really IS terrible, BIG time! What is wrong with saying THAT??

I really DID feel sorry, that other DOS users did NOT have a cache like
UDMA. It has taken four years to go from a barely-working single disk
driver to a full-cache driver that handles 250-MB easily and 1-Gigabyte
maximum! I am PROUD of UDMA and its companions. They DID take much
HARD WORK. They are absolutely NOT any sort of "genius" creation!

Now, you show up.

And you think saying all the above means I believe myself "perfect".

And now you say I should follow Ray Charles' words and "Hit the road"!

Fine, Steve. Take note of what is now on Johnson Lam's website.

The latest 28-Sep-2007 drivers are withdrawn. The prior drivers will
be retained, to help people NOT as unreasonable as some on this board.

Excepting my 3 good advisors and Johnson's kind friends in China, I do
NOT believe I will find myself "feeling sorry" for DOS users any more.

And if you wonder why all this happened, Steve ...
