I am having the same exact problem with my TDK 40/12/48 in Win2k. It was working perfect until about the time MJ implemented internal ASPI layers, then I couldn't get things to work right since (not saying that's the cause, just the timeframe). It actually works intermittantly, but I haven't been able to find a common denominator to make it reproducable. Tried internal ASPI layer, Adaptec's ASPI drivers and generic. A fresh reboot sometimes make is cooperate, but is likely a fluke, unless it is resetting the drive/controller after a glitch. The generic driver worked for me once, but I don't like the 2 second gap either (I listen to a lot of DJ mixes and CDs where the artist runs songs together with intros, e.g Depeche Mode) I also updated the drive's firmware to the newest (t01). I have also placed the drive on my generic IDE controller and my PROMIS ATA100 controller. When I first moved it to the PROMIS controller, it worked very well for a couple of CD's that day, using ASPI drivers and everything, but bombed the next time I tried a few days later. I could maybe try rolling my PROMIS drivers back to 1.6 from the current 2.0. (possibly a conflict with ASPI and PROMIS's new ATA drivers?)
Any ideas fellas? I have one more thing I want to test as well. I am enjoying my new coaster collection, but darn...haha
