NEC doesn't put them on the Net.  Supposedly you can find them via their
fastfax service (I forget the # but if you call 800 Information and ask
their tech support and call there they will have it on their voice mail).
Otherwise support@nectech.com will mail you command sets as well.

BTW, as a related NEC thing, does anyone out there have a NEC CDR-200 or
NEC CDR-210 (I think the first is also called the 2Vi, the second is
the OEM model) that works with audio cd player commands?  As far as I
can tell NEC doesn't use the SCSI-2 spec for audio cd player commands,
because the only O/S that can play audio CDs with this drive for me is
MSDOS/Windows using the Adaptec ASPI stuff.  Windows NT, NetBSD, and
FreeBSD all barf on it.
