	I have a few questions about the PAS 16, since I reccommended it
to a friend.  I have a Soundblaster 2.0.  How much are the drivers from
Trantor?  Is it fast enough for the double speed CD-ROM drives?  I think
that the board is fantastic but I hope I don't tell my friend to get one
and end up with the same pseudo proprietary predicament people with SB have.
