If you do, you can use the command line option of /DB:16 with it and not require a driver of any kind. This causes a double buffering to be used for disk transactions which do slow things down and also uses substantially more memory. The other option is to get a hold of the ASW-1410 driver V2.0 or later. This driver along with V5.x of QEMM makes use of the VDS (Virtual Device Services) specification. Which will not require the /DB:16 option and makes things much faster. The ASW-1410 is not a give away though. It can be had through distribution.
