The definative answer:

The 562 and 563 use the same drive mechanism, and are identical in
performance.  Only the 563 has a digital output, though.  (Digital as in
direct CD output rather than the parallel cable which goes to a controller
board).  The extra output allows it to interface with some video boards,
thus bypassing the ISA bus.

Double-speed drives are no use for anything video, though.
