FAQ

Q: I've try with my drive but it does not work ! What happen ?
A: Some device seen to don't support the "set speed" command. Sorry, but you drive
will stay noisy, good luck !

A: Really ? it should not. Please contact me by mail : det.nicolas@free.fr

Q: How could I launch this software at each startup ?
A: Simply copy it in your SYS:WBStartup directory

Q: I don't have MorphOS, would it be possible to get an AmigaOS 68k version ?
A: Well, I don't have access to my Amiga for the moment, and I'm too lazy to install
and 68k compiler on my machine. However you are free to compile it for you 68k, sources are given
in the archive.

Q: I want full speed and silent, how can I do it ?
A: Buy a real CD/DVD drive ! Usually SCSI one are better. I have a Plextor "UltraPleX40Max" SCSI
which is "rather" silent at least more silent than my IDE one !
Anyway, you should try to avoid IDE/ATAPI device if you can. Buy a "cheap" SCSI card with some good
SCSI devices it generaly no so expensive and very nice.
