As I said elsewhere, we are going to fix the cache manager.  I'm going
to start on it next, after finishing up the floppy driver.  That is the
major blocker to using off-the-shelf windows IFS drivers.

As for SEH:  if you build the driver with MS tools, it's fine; if you
want to build with the ReactOS build environment, you just need to do 

#ifdef _MSC_VER
	try {
#endif

...and so on.  There was a recent thread about porting drivers to
ReactOS that should be of some help.  Or, you are welcome to let me know
if you have questions.
