To anyone, I've seen this question posted before, but never an answer. I have a SCSI controller (Mylex 32 bit EISA). Why do I need another controller for my CD-ROM (Sony CDU-541)? Can I chain them together? If so, how? Are special drivers needed? Thanks, robin

One reply I received earlier said "no problem" regarding conflicts between my existing IDE controller and a SCSI for the CDROM, but I don't know about chaining them. Sorry. DB

Robin, you might want to look at the PC Mag review of 10/29/91 for some info, especially on the CDU_7211, the external version of your 541. Among other things, it mentions that Future Domain made the SCSI interface for Sony on those models, so they might be able to advise you if Sony can't, a not unusual problem. Kevin–
