- You can in fact hook the cd-rom up. The scsi bus will see it but you
- need to buy the software so the mac can talk to the CD-ROM. I
- purchased the Trantor CD-Rom drivers from Megahaus in Houston.

- They also have an 800 number but I couldn't find it. You can buy the
- drivers direct from Trantor as well. Megahaus price, 69.00.
-
- They work great!!
-
- BTW, maybe this should make it into the FAQ??
