MMCSpeed 1.00 (2003-08-17)

Warning: This version of MMCSpeed is only compatible to Iyonix machines
         with CD-RW drives

MMCSpeed
========

MMCSpeed is capable of setting the maximum read speed of your CD-RW drive.
The more you reduce the speed from the maximum possible, the slower
and less noisy will your CD-RW drive get during read operations.

In my experience, 8x speed is a fine value for day-to-day operation. Note
that, starting with around 16x speed, the speed gain is no longer
proportional since the drive enters CLV mode - this means that only
areas nearer to the outer side of the CD are read with that speed - areas
nearer the inner side of the CD are still read with 12x speed.


Configuration
-------------

To configure MMCSpeed, you have to edit the BASIC code in MMCSpeed. Load
it into your editor and find the section between the
REM -- user servicable parts
markers. Adjust
cdfs_drive%
and
speed%
to suit your needs.

Default configuration is CDFS drive 0, 8x speed.

Installation
------------

Put MMCSpeed either in your PreDesk or somewhere else on your harddisc if
you just want to use it occasionally.

Note that software which manipulates the drive's speed itself (like e.g.
CDBurn) usually sets the speed back to maximum after read operations.
