I've heard about an ATAPI command for CD drives that can set the speed
for raw grabbing (audio and VideoCD). I need to slow down the speed as
I'm getting read problems for contiunuous VideoCD playback. The CD reads
too fast and spins down the motor which leads to pauses as it always
takes a few seconds until the drive is ready again.
I'm doing all this under DOS with MSCDEX. Does anyone know more about
it or where I can get docs about it?
