subject: Slow CDROM under Warp 3

Hi, 
 
I am having problems with my CDROM.  It is a Matshushita (Panasonic) 
CR-581 internal quad speed.  My system is warp 3 full pack -no fixpacks- 
16mb RAM.  The CDROM is connected via my soundBlaster Vibra sound card. 
I also have two hard drives. 
 
When I installed warp (from CD) it used and installed the MKEATAPI.ADD 
driver however while the CDROM works it only has the performance of 
a double speed and not a quad speed. 
 
I installed a program the other day and it came up with CDROM = 299 
however this same program under _real_ DOS/WINDOWS correctly sees 
the transfer rate as 600. 
 
Can anyone tell me how to setup the CDROM to speed it up. Should I 
try a different driver.  I did try the default IBM driver that the 
hard drives use but I couldn't get the CDROM to work at all. 
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
 
Cheers 
Mike
