CDBeQuiet! (aka CDBQ) is a tool for slowing down optical disk drives under a real DOS environment.
This can be useful, if you have a relatively fast drive that can produce unwanted noise during operation (e.g. gaming :-p ).
It allows you to set a desired speed by specifying a command-line parameter.
This tool is based on an assembler program by "Hackman". Thanks, Hackman!
For info on system requirements, usage guide, change history, refer to README.TXT.
For a list of drives that are known to work, have a look at DRIVES.TXT.
IMPORTANT: Before making adjustments to disc speed, it is best to run a few tests (benchmarks).
Usage without proper testing can lead to poor read performance, see readme.txt, section How to test the settings and which rate to choose?.
