I contacted CD-Technology, and they are willing to substitute the T-3401 for the T-3301 (with the OS/2 offer), for an additional $50. Given your info on the T-3301, the new offer should be good too. I'll get the T-3401. I'm not quite clear on the SCSI-controller part. A 8-bit (on CPU side) controller (no-name) is offered with the drive for $100. I suppose compatibility shouldn't be an issue. Will an 8-bit controller degrade the 300kb/s transfer rate? If I might look for a SCSI HDD in the future, do I need a better controller? Would the Adaptec 1542b be adequate for this as well? Last but not least, what would a reasonable price be for this controller? Sorry about all these Qs. I really appreciate the help! Sincerely, Fred
