The Adaptec ASPI drivers are only supplied as an upgrade. Obviously, this means that you have to have a copy installed already. Unfortunately, they're not shipped with Windows (anymore?), so you have to purchase something like Easy CD creator to get them.

Personally, I just invested in a SCSI Plextor 40xCDROM drive, which, in the short while I've been using it, seems perfectly happy (under Audio Catalyst) to rip at 17x.

And the ASPI drivers? I had to fork over £60 for a copy of Easy CD Creator 4. The 3.5 version that came with my Yamaha CD-ReWriter isn't supported under Windows 2000. Ouch.
