I don't know about the ^X, but when I implemented CP/M 3.0 "n years ago",
I just gave the O.S. a couple blocks, and cached the disks myself.  I'm
currently using 256K in a banked configuration (top 16K fixed, and 5 48K
banks) "soon" to be 1MB w/21 banks w/RAMDISK as well.  Actually I like
3.0 a lot better than 2.2.  At very least my files have timestamps, and
I've implemented a "make" facility which I like quite a lot.
