I am interested in purchasing a CD-ROM for my system. I currently have a PS/2 Model 57 SLC 486 with a SCSI and 2-160 MB 14 MS drives. I am would like to purchase a CD Rom and have found that most CD ROM drives that you purchase through the computer stores also come with controller cards (I really don't need one). I had a blurb that showed Toshiba CD-Rom drives are also compatible. Does anyone know of other drives that are compatible with the IBM SCSI? Thanks Brian Please copy me via MAIL, too.

I have tried both TEXEL 3024 and TOSHIBA 3401 on 486 SLC with no problem at all. I connect the CD-ROM drive to the SCSI cable inside and run automactic config., then it works under OS/2 both audio and data but haven't try DOS yet. Hope this help. regards,

Under DOS, you can use the Trantor CD-295 driver for the internal IBM SCSI adapter. It supports most CD-ROM drives and handles Kodak Photo CD support, too. List price is $59. 510-770-1400 for the Trantor sales line.
