The NEC drive originally came with SpeedyCD which was a limited version of DriveCD. At least the software which came with my 3X Multispin did. I still have the software and have thrown it up at http://www.io.com/~trag . The file name is SPEEDYCD.SEA.hqx . If you have a later Multispin this might not work. And I don't know how late of an OS this will work with. The file is binhexed and then self-extracting stuffed. Stuffit Expander should undo it for you. It's about 1.1 MB. If anyone wants to grab it and archive it somewhere, feel free. I'll leave it up for a day or two. Of course this might be available in the Mac Driver Museum.
