You should be able to use the old Atari tool CACHENNN.PRG. It's on my to-do list to make a native CF version, but the existing version should be able to run under FireTOS. Be aware that this only caches FATs and folders, on FAT filesystems only.
So CACHENNN.PRG may only be useful with FreeMiNT when TOSFS is enabled (it uses the underlying GEMDOS file functions). Nowadays NEWFATFS is used by default, so FreeMiNT uses its own filesystem drivers, accessing block devices through XHDI. In such case, only block devices caches can be useful, such as HDDRIVER's one.
Anyway, FreeMiNT's disk cache is supposed to be efficient... -- Vincent Rivière
