	> "UHDD and UDVD2 discontinued (very low use). Hmmm, Jack does good work, but i wonder how he actually ascertained the usage rates of the individual drivers in the collection? I pretty much use UDVD2 exclusively. Oh well.... - Doug B.

	Thanks, Jack, for keeping UDVD2 in the Drivers archive, allowing it to be updated as necessary. My system is somewhat limited in terms of upper memory, and UDVD2 can squeeze in there with only 160 bytes! So its small memory footprint, along with its integration/compatibility with XMGR and UMBPCI, make it a winner for me. - Doug B.

On Jan. 26, Jack Ellis released an update to his UIDE etc. drivers for DOS.

Changes:
"UIDE error handling CD/DVD media-changes for 'stand alone' mode is fixed (caching UIDE was unaffected!). UHDD now offers a 'Common' cache plus a 'CD/DVD' cache for UDVD2. NO change to non-cached UHDD/UDVD2 driver sizes!" (see his freedos-user post for more details)
