"What is the airspeed of an unladen SS/5-170?"
"African or European SS/5-170?"
"I don't know....URRRRK!"

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

<ObRescue> As far as I know, the fastest *official*
drive for that case is 2x...but there are supposedly
up to 8x drives that someone has found which are
compatible if you have the "small CD-ROM/big floppy"
Aurora 1 case as I do.  If you have the "regular
1/2 height CD-ROM/thin floppy" Aurora 2 case, then
you can use almost anything.

I had enough trouble finding a faster internal CD-ROM
that I went ahead and got a 24x external when one
popped up for a reasonable price.  YMMV.
