Hi, I'm about to buy a CD-ROM drive and could use some advise. The two things I'm seriously looking at (due to availability here) are Media Vision's Pro Media 16 bundle, which has a NEC 55J (I think) and a SCSI on the sound card (ProStudio 16). Or a NEC CDR-74-1 which I can buy with or without the controller. I have a 486/50 with 16 meg. It has an Adaptec 1542B SCSI host adapter. The Adaptec has a Segate disk and a Wangtec tape drive attached to it. Here are the questions: 1) Can I attach both of those NEC CD-ROM drives to the Adaptec? 2) What software do I need to make them work with the Adaptec? Is ASPIDISK sufficent? 3) Is the NEC 55J multi-session Photo-CD compliant? 4) Will both of the above work with: a) DOS/Win 3.1 b) SCO Unix (3.2.4) c) OS/2 2.1 Thanks in advance. –jorge jorge@well.us.ca.sf 72251.2671@compuserve.com
