My Quantum LPS 540 Meg SCSI-2 HD, my Iomega ZIP drive and my Plextor
4x CD-ROM at running at lower-than-usual speeds under Windows 95
because they are using something called "MS-DOS Compatibility Mode".
Windows 95 tells me that this slows down the devices, as I figured
out. <g>

The problem is: I need to have SCSIDRVR.SYS running because otherwise
the ZIP drive will be wrongly detected as a HD and Windows 95 will not
start. Because SCSIDRVR.SYS requires an ASPI driver, I have to load
ASPICAM.SYS as well (my controller is a NCR 53c810 PCI SCSI-2 board).
Because ASPICAM.SYS cannot communicate directly with the controller
without either MINICAM.SYS ou DOSCAM.SYS, I had to install MINICAM.SYS
as well. <g>

I also have CDROM.SYS (NCR controller CD-ROM driver) and MSCDEX.EXE
loaded.

My questions are: 

	- Are drives C:, D: and E: in this "MS-DOS Compatibility Mode"
 	  because of these drivers? If not, what might be creating the
	  problem, and how can I solve this?

	- Can I safely remove at least both CD-ROM drivers, and will this
	  still let me have access to a CD-ROM in a DOS window under Windows
	  95 without having to configure a specific CONFIG.SYS and
	  AUTOEXEC.BAT? Will this at least speed-up the CD-ROM (no more
	  "MS-DOS Compatibility Mode"?)

	- Will Iomega come up with Windows 95 drivers any time soon? That
	  should allow me to use a driverless CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
	  combination...

Thanks in adavnce for your help! Any information, even speculation, is
welcome! Right now anything that doesn't destroy the OS is valid...
