CD-ROM Upgrade Question

HI

I am looking for suggestions upgrading my CD-ROM and sound card.

Now I have a Sound Blaster 16 MCD with a Mitsumi 2x hanging off it.
I will be giving this set up to my sister for her computer and upgrading mine.

I also have a Adeptec 2940 SCSI controller that is running my hard drive 
and I will be keeping. And my mother board has a EIDE controller that is 
disabled as of right now.

I was thinking about getting a Toshiba 3701 (???) 6x SCSI and hang it off
my Adeptec 2940. I would replace my Sound Blaster 16 MCD with a 
Sound Blaster 32 AWE Value Edition.

I have a few questions:

1) I have not found a driver for the Toshiba 3701. Will it work under 
Warp? Will it work at 6x Speed? What driver do I use. How do I install it.

2) Does the Sound Blaster 32 AWE Value Edition work well under Warp?
Can I use the same drivers that I have now for my Sound Blaster 16 MCD?
If not how do I set it up. 

3) Is there a better/cheaper solution? Is there a way to use a 8x IDE 
with out messing up the Adeptec 2940? Could I get a Creative Labs 8x 
Bundle with lost of "free" CD's and get it to work??





Any and all comments welcome.
