Hi Tom, thanks for checking the int 13 details on VirtualBox!

That is a bug in UIDE then. I just checked LBACACHE: It rejects non-change-line floppy drives when asked to cache floppy (LBACACHE FLOP command line option). It does this in setup (13.15) so there is no special handling for 13.16 needed after setup imho... So you cannot cache floppy on VirtualBox with Lbacache, but at least you do not get data errors that way either.
