:>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.
I don't have any personal experience with this particular Toshiba drive, but I
would be surprised if it didn't work, perhaps even with one of the in-the-box
Toshiba drivers, even if they're not explicitly labelled to support the 3701. 
If it works at all, it ought to work at it's rated speed;  certainly your
Adeptec 2940 is a very able SCSI card.
:>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. 
Better than for me to answer here, check the Sound Card FAQ link that appears
on the UVA unofficial OS/2 page, http://poe.acc.virginia.edu/~cjg4t/warp.html.
 The FAQ has a complete rundown on sound cards.
:>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??
:>
You won't mess up the 2940 by also running an IDE peripheral.  You can
certainly do the job cheaper, but as to better . . .
