I recently installed one of these in my system. It is a P166 MMX with an Adaptec
2940U Ultra SCSI adapter built on the motherboard (IWILL P55TV). Also on the
SCSI bus is a Plextor 12/20plex, and two IBM 2.1GB Ultra SCSI hard drives. I use
CeQuadrat WinOnCD software.

So far, I haven't had any problems with it. I have made audio CD's, data CD's,
and bootable CD's. WinOnCD includes a packet drivers, so you can format a CD-R
for packet use, and then it shows up as a regular drive letter that you can
read/write to.
