Laurent:
I have one of these CD's that I once used on an old PC Laptop. I now
use only Mac, and was wondering if you know where to find the SCSI-2
connector, and if you have any drivers, are are any necessary?
Thanks,
Robert

Listers:
I have used a Panasonic 783 with my dear 2400c/400/80/10GB for about a year
now, and can say nothing but good things about it. It works as well as any
SCSI portable I've tried, and looks good too. I use the 'hacked' Apple CD/DVD
driver that I read about in Macintouch. (use resedit to change a line or two
of the 'stock' driver). I found the needed SCSI cable at Datavision in NYC.
Highly recommended!
