- I had a similar idea, except with a Novell file server, SCSI Express
- and Netware NFS. The SCSI express works OK, the Novell NFS works fine,
- but: An exported Novell volume must have NFS name space added to it,
- which involves creating a file on that volume. Most of the CD-ROM's we
- get are read only :-). So we are reduced to FTP'ing from the file
- server.

- When will Dell add CD-ROM support?
