Nah, I have a 1 gig HP SCSI-II drive and a 240 meg Quantum SCSI drive.
I haven't noticed what they do when I get the messages.

I have 16 megs....but it used to be so much faster!  Under 1.0 I never
saw any slowness at all.  Under May 15 current it would start out fast,
but then slowly slow down until it was so slow that killing the X
server would cause it to hang mid-mode switch and my monitor would
scream...

I haven't dared to try the sound card.  I didn't want to find anything
else that didn't work. :-)
