CLARIFICATION on the Sony drives, they are IDE interface and not SCSI. I just re-read your earlier post on the CD Drive for Pulsar. So you would need an IDE card if for the 9500. And as for bootability in the s900, I will try hooking one up tonight to see if they work in this s900 machine. Within a week I will also be getting in some Yamaha SCSI cdrw's and I will check to see if they are bootable. I am half way around the world from you but at least maybe the info will help you out in a search. Dave
