COMMANDSUMMARY
If the Orchid cache program CACHE.EXE is
already installed on the host, typing TURBO
will not install cache again. Caching
automatically uses all DOS, EMS, and Extended
Memory available on the host.
.
/C - Disable All Caching
This option disables all disk caching; neither
removable nor fixed disks (hard disks) are
cached when this option is useo.
/R - Cache Removable Drives
This option allows removable disks (floppies
and cartridges) to be cached in addition to
hard disks and intelligent removables.
This option can add extra speed to many
applications
if
used correctly. But it must
be used with caution. There is a danger
of losing valuable data if the floppy diskette
is replaced without informing the cache of the
change.
Before you change a floppy diskette Or
cartridge, press <Alt>-<Left Shift>-<F> from
the DOS prompt. This will inform the PCturbo
of the change so that it can flush its buffers
and prepare . for a new disk.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using /R (either
TURBO /R or CACHE /R), it is the
user's responsibility to press
<Alt>-<Left Shift>-<F> to inform the
PCturbo whenever removable diskettes or
cartridges are changed. Failure to do so
may result in loss of data.
