- Hi All,
-
- In the near future I'll probably be looking into getting a CD-ROM drive
- which I'll be hooking up through a new SCSI board. I'd like to get the
- best combination that will work under both OS/2 and DOS. I'm not really
- all that up on this stuff and from postings I've scanned on these topics
- installing SCSI and CD-ROMs seems like it can be fraught with difficulties --
- particularly depending on other devices already installed.
-
- So, I'm asking the net for any brandname recommendations for a SCSI-CDROM
- setup. Also, with all the junk I've already got stuffed in the box, will
- I have any problems? My system is as follows:
-
- 486-33 Local Bus (ET4000)
- 16 Meg RAM
- 2 IDE Drives: 120 Meg (Bootmanager, C: FAT DOS Boot primary, E: HPFS, F: HPFS)
- 200 Meg (D: FAT primary)
- Soundblaster (uses IRQ7 - I don't have a printer)
- MPU401 board (uses IRQ5)
-
- I'm particularly concerned about having 2 IDE's with SCSI (seems like some
- other people had problems with this), and I've got a couple of boards that
- already use IRQ's 5 and 7.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
