Yep, you've got a problem there.  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.
