Many (if not most), SCSI CD-RWs are supported in "pure DOS".
Try the http://www.goldenhawk.com/ site for a complete list of SCSI drives
supported by their "DAO" software.
Unfortuanatly, I have found no DOS software for use with IDE CD-RWs.

That's why I still need W95 on this system....(Creative Labs, IDE 4224 CD-RW)
As soon as I can get my hands on an SCSI CD-RW.... W95 will be going in
the trash quicker than you can blink your eyes. ;-)

No problem there.
I have the printer port version of ZIP100
(plugs right into the printer port of the CPU and then the printer plugs
into the back of the ZIP drive)
---from config.sys---
rem ZIP DRIVE
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIPPM1.SYS FILE=PC873EPP.ILM SPEED= 10
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIPPM2.SYS FILE=NIBBLE2.ILM SPEED=10 Quiet
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPIIDE.SYS Scan Info Quiet
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSICFG.EXE /V
DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSIDRVR.SYS
SET SCSI_DRIVER = C:\IOMEGA
SET SCSI_UTILITY = C:\IOMEGA
_____________________
With this config...... the ZIP is drive L: on my system.
(C: to K: are HDD partitions)
