I have two CD-ROM drives, an old Panasonic that came with my Sound
Blaster card (about 2 years old) and a new Creative six speed IDE
CD-ROM.  I assume the Panasonic is dual-speed, but I have no
paperwork.
In W95 under the performance settings (system properties) you set the
size of the CD-ROM cache and specify the speed of your drive.  When I
have two drives, what settings should I specify - dual speed or six
speed ?
Why doesn't windows allow separate settings for each drive ?
