The PAS16 SCSI is only rated for something like 500K/sec, so by attaching a 600K/sec CD ROM you are trying to force more through the PAS16 interface than it can take. That is why your CD shows as a triple spin and it is probably causing your choppiness. Solution: get a different sound or scsi card, or you could always find someone with a 3X speed CD ROM and trade your 4X speed CD ROM for it. -- Skip Ledford "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, does not skip...@america.net cease to exist"
