I got a SCSI CD-ROM in December and talked to you and you called on phone
to Uwe. I asked you for proper flushing of CPU data cache (since I was
loosing data) and IIRC the result was to write a small patch (and add-on)
for HDDRIVER's SCSIDRV that would flush the data cache. The _FRB was not a
solution somehow (don't remember details and don't have old messages
here).

This is kind of an answer for Jo Even: I do have serious problems with
SCSI CD-ROM (both software and hardware related) and I want to write the
patch for SCSIDRV/AB40. It's on my TODO list, right below the other things
(like e.g. TOS040). Wish I was able to *buy* a free time for programming
on Falcon - there's so many things that need to be done...
