This simply is NOT true as stated: The 2.04 version of addbuffers does NOT
have those two failings. It does not allocate buffers in chip memory and
it allows you to delete the buffers once they are allocated. Please refer
the the 2.04 documentation for a complete description. Maybe there are
other reasons to run BlitzDisk, but for 2.04 users, it isn't for the
reasons you've stated.

John,
I'll refresh my acquaintance with the new docs, and if I was wrong,
I stand corrected.
John,
Well, you are definitely right about not using CHIP. But I cannot
tell how you get rid of assigned buffers. The command template doesn't
have a parameter for removing the buffers and resetting buffers for a given
drive to 0 doesn't return any memory to the free pool. Perhaps this is
undocumented. It isn't in my 2.04 docs. The template is just <drive>
nbuffs.
Simply Specify a negative number of buffers, and that number will be
removed. I.E. ADDBUFFERS DH1: -10 will remove 10 buffers from DH1:
(This is only under 2.04+ of course.)

Craig,
Thank you for clearing that up.
