As you may know, Panasonic make a combined rewriteable optical drive and CD-ROM reader, SCSI, which sells in the UK for (equivalent) US$600. Optical media hold 650MB for US$60. I'm sure these are expensive compared to native US pricing, but that's life. Slow too, with 165ms seek (compared to Jaz 12ms, but I imagine only using it for backups). Before I spend money on one of these, can anyone tell me if it is likely to work? i.e. will it work as a SCSI CD-ROM? Which device would I use? sd(4)? cd(4)? Aled -- telephone +44 973 207987 O-
