Hello Terry,
I can't say for sure because I installed all TB's on my HD.  But Hiarcs uses Ram
for Cache to make the TB access faster when needed.  So my guess is that It will
get them off the CD OK.  You can even set the amout of RAM available to Hiarcs
for the Cache.  I think 2 meg is the default.
