I've got my NEC 84 CD-ROM up and running! I'd like to connect the audio out in the back of the NEC 84 to the audio in on my Sound Blaster Pro. Does anyone know where I might get such a cable ready made? Or, if not, where I might…

Ed, I solved my problems after a call to NEC. I still can't believe what it was… The technician said my symptoms strongly indicated that the 4 mounting screws that hold the drive in place inside my system were too long! He said he was pretty amazed too when he…

I'm having trouble getting my Future Domain 850 SCSI controller and NEC-84J CD-ROM to work. What I'm seeing includes the following: 1. When I put a CD in, it is automatically ejected after 5 to 10 seconds. 2. If I attempt to access the drive (T:) under DOS (5.0) ,…

OK, Future Domain. I know you guys pass through here occassionally because I've seen you in some threads. Isn't electronic democracy wonderful? How about representing yourself here?

Right, I hope those guys come through here and read this stuff. They NEED the feedback. Say, Future Domain… If you read this, how about some feedback from you? If you believe your policies are reasonable, how about putting them out here in an open discussion and seeing if they…

I tried the generic driver as you suggested. It did not work for me. The driver put up a box with the version and a phone number & etc. and it said No CD ROM Devices found …and then my system rebooted itself. I looked at the documentation that accompanies…

All right! I was skeptical of those two boards and it sounds like my intuition was right. Dennis
Good Adaptor prices! Message #30656

I've been scouting for an economical SCSI adaptor to go with my NEC CDR-84 drive. Today I found what I was looking for. Microsoft lists nine Future Domain Adaptors that are compatible with their NT CD-ROM and Arrow Electronics has them all for great prices. Details: Adaptor Price Bits Other…
#30423- #NEC-84 for $395 saga… Message #30585

I took a look at my JD catalog as per your suggestion. I found the NEC card there, a Trantor parallel to SCSI as well as several Future Domains. I'll have to call them to see what the exact manufacturer model #'s is on the NEC since they only list…

I'm glad things are working well. I'm still waiting for my CDR-84 to arrive. What is a PAS-16 anyway? Is it a SCSI I/F card? That last brings me to some questions. What kind of SCSI I/F card do you use, what did it cost, where did you get it…
