Something you seem to be forgetting here. This is a chipjack expert DRIVER.
If you can explain to me how a CD-ROM driver is going to make a CD-format
song loaded into memory play at all, much less play BETTER, by sending it to
the empty CD-ROM, then I can accept that you can route a headware
memory-loaded skillsoft to an empty chipjack with an expert driver to
improve it's performance.

But that's just my $.02, YMMV.

That crazy driving guy!
