Well, I'm sure there are other units around, but I just purchased a NEC CDR-84JD-1 with Pro Audio Studio card and some bundled software. This is SCSI II, Multimedia II, Double speed, Multisession photo CD. Price was $919. I have a feeling there are probably better deals out there too. This was purchased from Computability in Milwaukee and have had good dealings with in the past. Now, if someone could only clue me in on why NEC thought they had to add that second outer trapdoor over the disk slot. The hinge attach points are interfering with it going through the front panel on my Epson Equity 486DX2 50 Plus. I have tried shaving down part of the side part but still have clearance problems (see a previous message from me on this subject also). I don't want to butcher the computer front panel. It looks to me like I will still need to remove 1/8" on each side to get this to fit. I sure would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if I'm overlooking something obvious, as I'm not terribly good at mechanical things. Good luck on your drive hunting, Bob. I'll appreciate any suggestions on my problem. John
