Mark, Clients of mine are using the CD-NET s/w and NetStore CD-ROM cabinets from Meridian Data. You can check with Meridan in the CD-ROM vendors forum. Corel and others also have NLMs to share CD-ROMs. In our configuration, the CD-ROMs have a dedicated SCSI adapter in the FileServer. John

What LAN software are you using? If NetWare 3.x+ we provide hardware and software which allow you to use SCSI CD-ROM drives to access CDs as NetWare volumes. If you're interested email me your address and I'll have some literature sent to you, or if you prefer you can call us at 407-677-8333 and ask to talk to a salesperson (please don't ask for me, I'm in engineering and couldn't give you information on pricing, availability etc.) David Dillard Senior Software Engineer Micro Design International, Inc.
