At first all was well.. Then it started to strain my system.. Got a few coasters and did some research. Found this..
Easy Cd Affecting ... I was looking into updating the aspi layer, but at the adaptec website it said I couldn't use their update for my version of easy cd because it would corrupt its aspi layer.. So that idea went out the window. Between the register article, the aspi problem, my system strain, and some coasters, I decided to try nero. So far so good.. It wrote audio, audio with scratches on the fly, no coasters, and the incd works just as good if not better than direct cd.. The direct cd was the reason I was hassling with the adaptec product, so now I feel why bother? I can update my aspi layer for my scanner, and all is good..
