Mail order Panasonic source ???
Can anyone recommend a *reliable* mail order company that sells the
Panasonic PD SCSI rewritable 650MB combined optical and CDROM drive. There
are apparently 2 versions:
LF-1000AB (External) <- this is the one I'm interested in.
LF-1004AB (Internal)
They apparently come with Corel SCSI drivers.
I plan to make the SCSI connection by PCMCIA from a 755c. Can anyone
suggest whether a New Media "Bus Toaster" or an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card
would be best?
Thanks
