This is part of range of packages designed originally for use with DVD-RAM
drives, which has now become useful for other types of drives.

About SectorCache:
------------------

This is a CLI Shell device patch program for changing the sector size of a
device, but it also features a cache and command converter.

The minimum sector size of DVD-RAM for example is 2048 bytes, the maximum
PFS3 sector size is 1024 bytes, so we have a problem !

The SectorCache patch lets PFS3 think DVD-RAM is a 512 or 1024 bytes per
sector device and converts the sizes accordingly.  It also caches small
reads by age and can convert 64 bit device commands into another form.

It doesn't just work with PFS and DVD-RAM, it can work with any track disk
type device or any filesystem.

It can also be used to mount for example a 512 bytes per sector partition,
which has been block copied to device with a larger sector size (maybe CD-R
or CD-RW), the FileSystem will still see 512 byte sectors.
