I wasn't impressed at all, and I configured it to use a 5 MB cache file
located on a 10 MB RAM drive.  It also conflicts with 386MAX in a way
that kept Windows from running, and since I need 386MAX and Windows, CD
Speedway got tossed.  You're better off getting a faster CD-ROM.

For me it was a waste of $70.  Your mileage may vary..
