The current model of IDE CD-ROM drive used in a majority of Apricot

manufacturers in terms of speed, SIX SPEED is now coming to the fore.
Apricot have introduced the SIX SPEED drive into the LS550 - PENTIUM PRO
model.
There are no issues between the use of QUAD and SIX SPEED drives. They
are interchangeable and utilise the same driver software etc.
