What will the effect be of Intech speedtools in this case and in general?

????Either I don't understand or you don't ;-)
Intech speedtools will have no effect at all on USB not Firewire cards nor PCI slot placement does that answer the question ?
Lets be clear Intech CD/DVD speedtools are the best drivers available for CD and DVD drives in OS 8/9. Work with most any CD or DVD drive. No OSX version and not needed anyway. Intech Harddrive speedtools are/were perhaps the best hard disk tools and work in all versions of Mac OS. (much better then the shadow of it's former self FWB tools IMHO) Apple's drive setup tools have improved so much third party hard drive tools are rarely needed any more. It was mostly older SCSI and just a few IDE drives that weren't supported and they should mostly be out of their misery by now ;-)
3rd party hard drive tools do provide a few extra tricks like partitioning a drive without loosing data and letting you move an IDE drive from a native ATA bus to a PCI ATA card which sees the drive as SCSI and still not loose data. But none of these are free and most people aren't willing to pay for them. i'm guessing they won't be around much longer. Will S
