It also does lots of other things. It provides Kodak Photo CD to over 50 different drives. Multisession to all that can do it. Mounts multiple volume CDs (ProDos, ISO9660+Mac hybrids, etc). Supports ALL apple's CD-ROM driver commands on all drives it claims to support. Has nice looking audio player. If your cache files are stored on a fast hard disk in a fast partition then programs that can pre-scan files to a disk based cache (such as CD-ROM ToolKit) can go faster. You speed is limited only by the speed of your hard disk, and of course hard disks are much faster thatn even quadruple speed CD-ROM drives. I used it and other accellerators, and I am sure it helps all CD-ROM drives. =Bill
