The main thing I don't like about mine is the inability to play music tracks
on a CDROM drive.  In the age of multi-media, on a multi-media machine, this
seems like a glaring deficiency.  I also haven't had a whole lot of luck
using a tape drive except with the RamFAST's built-in archival program.  The
built-in program isn't bad, especially since it will run pretty much in the
background, but it will only backup or restore a full volume.  Otherwise,
it's a pretty nice, fast, flexible card.
