<b><a name="aspi">2.4 What does "SPTI" and "ASPI" mean?</a></b><p>
Windows 98 and ME use drivers called "ASPI" to access CD/DVD drives.
Windows NT and its successors provide similar functionality
through an interface named "SPTI", but do still allow the installation
of additional ASPI drivers.<p>
<i>&gt;&nbsp; Pro and Con of installing ASPI under Windows NT/2000/XP:</i><p>
<table>
<tr valign=top><td>+</td><td>No administrator priviledges needed for accessing the drives.</td></tr>
<tr valign=top><td>-</td><td>ASPI does not map well onto the Windows drive letters.</td></tr>
<tr valign=top><td>-</td><td>Some CD/DVD writing programs install
their own ASPI drivers. Installing another ASPI driver may interfere
with the existing software.</td></tr>
</table><p>
<i>&gt;&nbsp; Which ASPI versions are recommended for use with dvdisaster?</i><p>
Adaptec provides their ASPI drivers free of charge for download.
Sometimes versions 4.72.* have difficulties recognizing drives under
Windows 2000/XP. Downgrading to version 4.60 usually helps in such
cases.<p>
<i>&gt;&nbsp; Drive letters are wrong under ASPI!</i><p>
ASPI drivers use their own system of identifying drives, which does
not support the drive letter scheme of Windows.<br>
In order to provide a unified access to SPTI and ASPI,
dvdisaster tries to guess the mapping of ASPI drives to drive letters.
However this does not work under all configurations.<p>
The --list function prints out
the current mapping of drive letters.<p>
<i>&gt;&nbsp; How to select between SPTI and ASPI?</i><p>
dvdisaster will automatically choose between SPTI and ASPI,
deciding in favor of SPTI if both are available.
Usage of ASPI can be forced; see the description of the
--list function for details.
