I used it with my old Toshiba T1910CS notebook and attached a Reno CD-ROM drive. Windows 95 recognizes the MiniSCSI cable and loads the proper drivers. My CD was then treated just like any other drive. It worked well, if not as fast as a true SCSI device. Also it is not hot swappable; you have to shut down and reboot the system if you want to add or subtract anything attached to the cable, otherwise the system hangs. Richard M.
