Ok, Ran. Yes, I would hope it is possible to accomodate a fix in the software driver and not in hardware. Still the cost of a new interface board shouldn't be prohibitive, it's mostly a one chip VLSI board. I read in another thread of some one's experience using a 6201 over a Novell network and of reporting no observed degradation (pauses, gaps, flickering read lights). They guessed it might have something to do with the network buffering reads from the drive. I'm sort of hoping that disk cache writers can figure out a way to enable caching of CDROM. I am not sure of why it is not done now. I don't know the restrictions. My experience with Sony Tech support last week does not lead me to believe that they would have an asnwer to the upgrade question. Thanks, Keith.
