Charles,
Only NEC's latest drive the CDR-74-1 has a 256k buffer in it. This drive
is also SCSI-2 and XA Multisession capable.
If you do not have this model number or see some mention of these SCSI-2,
XA Multisession capabilities then you have the 64k buffer.
As far as diagnostics utilities what capabilities were you looking for?
If you have your CDR-74 hooked up to an independent SCSI card using an
ASPI manager there are some interesting utilities around. If you are using
NEC's proprietary SCSI card then I don't know of any, other than the ones
supplied with your drive by NEC.
