The following describes my first experiences with using a NEC 3xp CDROM on my Thinkpad 750 computer. I recently purchased a refurbished NEC 3xp CDROM drive from JEM Computers in Cambridge, MA (617)497-2500 for $199 and a NEC parallel to SCSI adapter (Trantor T338 compatible) for $49. I am very happy with the drive so far. The drive is a triple speed drive. The parallel to SCSI adapter, however is only capable of 75 KB/sec read and 150KB/sec write. I will probably end up purchasing a PCMCIA SCSI card at some point, but I wanted to be able to use my drive for data and software install while I am deciding on which PCMCIA card. The drive came with AC adapter, and headphones. the parallel to SCSI adapter came with a driver disk. Installation was simple and I had the drive up and running in less than ten minutes. I have no connection with NEC or with JEM. I just wanted to share my purchase experience with those that might be looking at purchasing a CDROM for there conputer. Mike Reagin reagin@aol.com
