I have the Sony 4X CD Discman (PRD-250, with the Adaptec 1460A) also, but I haven't been able to get it working with my 701C [which has the 3O BIOS] under DOS/Windows 3.1 in either slot. (My housemate has a no-name laptop with Windows 95, and it works fine with his machine.) Has anyone been able to get that combination working? Chris. -- Christian CAREY <ccarey@capaccess.org>
