Hi. I currently have my CDROM drive hooked on my PAS16 sound card.
However, I am now considering whether it might not be better to
connect it to my Adaptec 1522 SCSI interface. It seemed that this
requires the use of an ASPI driver. Not being real knowledgeable
on this, could someone tell me if this takes the place of the
CDROM driver, or is it in addition to it. Furthermore, how much
more or less memory does the Corel equivalent of MSCDEX take? At
one point I heard that the Corel extensions allowed greater throughput
than the Microsoft one, so I thought it was worth considering.

Thanks in advance.
Eric
