I have a MAC and a PC and I would like CD-ROM for both. I would like to use a single shared drive if possible. It would only be accessed by one machine at a time so a switch would be ok. Can I do this? Ideally, I'd like to avoid a switch box. Can the PC, a MAC, and an external CD-ROM drive share the SCSI? Could the CD-ROM drive be internal to one of the machines? I suppose it is unreasonable to assume that many (any) CD-ROM's could be used by both a MAC and a PC. Can they?
