Jim / MDI: PMJI. We had "talked" here a little while ago on whether SCSI Express would still be able to use CDs that require MSCDEX (just about all CDs claim to need this). You explained that it would "probably" run "most" even though SCSI Express does not use MSCDEX, but has a TSR to "fake" it for CDs that insist on needing MSCDEX. At that time, I express my concern about what not being able to run "some" CDs, but I don't think you ever got back to me. Could you be more explicit please (or anybody else here who's looked into this)? Since just about every CD title around says it requires MSCDEX, I want to know whether or not we would be able to run ALL CDs or not with SCSI Express, and if not, just how much of a problem will this be? How can we tell in advance? // Gerry
