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. -- Russ Poffenberger Engineering Specialist Schlumberger Technologies ATE DOMAIN: [log in to unmask] 1601 Technology Drive CIS: 72401,276 San Jose, Ca. 95110 Voice: (408)437-5254 FAX: (408)437-5246
