I just purchased a NEC Intersect CDRROM kit which features a NEC CDR-36 external SCSI drive, and an 8 bit SCSI adapter card. I have a number of questions about this combo: 1. Is this drive MPC compliant? Its data transfer rate is 150KB/Sec, and its seek time is <500Msec average. 2. The SCSI card is an 8 bit card. If I connect the driver to PAS-16 card, which has a 16 bit SCSI adapter, will I get better throughput? 3. Is the CDR-36 drive better than the CDR-25 drive I've seen the fusion kit from mediavision/nec? 4. Will the 8 bit SCSI card conflict with my PAS-16 card? Any other comments on this package will be greatly appreciated! The price was GREAT, $249 at Electronics Botique. Regards, David
