Well, considering some problem threads here it seems a non optimal solution. But maybe it has satisfied users too? Please tell me (us) what you did to make it work if you want!

Basically, I want to

1) write (with verify) floppy disks about as fast as the dms or adf utility under WB 2.0 does. That's sorta my benchmark for considering to buy it at all.

2) Not make my PC unstable.

Is it impossible with CW? I will ofc get any driver versions and buy any floppy drive brand you recommend.

Specs:
C2D, 2GB, Radeon X1950Pro, 320GB SATA
Win XP Professional SP2
