The only ones available AFAIK are for TEAC's own 8 bit interface card. I saw a
posting in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.cdrom that reckoned that the performance was
worse than with the real mode drivers. The downside is using up real memory. I
doubt that TEAC will be producing any other drivers as they have superseded the
CD55A.

Incidentally how is that people selling alleged Quad speed drives seem immune to
the Trade Descriptions Act? The performance of the CD55A is barely better than
dual speed & some benchmarks in PCW this month of 6X drives show that only SCSI
drives are capable of that transfger rate.
