I've just bought a SCSI-2 2x CD-ROM drive from ... www.sunrem.com - I've also got a SCSI card on order from another supplier, so I haven't been able to test it yet. It cost $149 - plus $52 shipping to Europe, which I think means they're not really trying re. shipping (other companies manage about $25). Still, inside the US it seems particularly attractive. The drive is targetted at Macs (it only has a Mac disk supplied) and the US (US power supply). For a standard SCSI connector you have to connect an ungainly battery box (supplied) to the drive, but it still ranks as pretty lightweight. I like the idea of a SCSI drive (to popular PCMCIA SCSI card) because I want to be able to drive it and other SCSI devices from Linux. A parallel port attached drive may not be so flexible. cheers, Andrew Richards. ---------- From: cyc[SMTP:cyj9h@csis2.ee.virginia.edu] Sent: Dienstag, 27.

How does the performance compare for one that uses a PCMCIA interface as opposed to an EPP one? Thanks! -charles -- "Got to Revolution! Got to Revolution!" - Kyle Baker
