Try this link: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/aspisetup.cfm Alternatively, moving your mouse pointer to the top of the page, finding search box and typing in ASPI would have helped.
Use this free Plextor utility. It's good enough if you just want write speed and manufacturer info: http://www.plextor.be/download/ftp1/CDVDInfo.zip Of course, if you had Nero 6, just use the CD-DVD Speed Utility.
