- I use SCO 3.2.4 and ODT 2.0, and almost anything will work with
- the standard SCSI drivers, which I believe are similar to the ones
- in SVr4- but I don't know if they're included in the stripped-down
- desktop version. I like the Hitachi CDR3750, and the only problem
- I had with it was getting it to work under DOS, either booted or
- running under UNIX with Merge. Thanks again for all here who tried
- to help- but finally CorelSCSI software solved it ($79.00).
-
- BTW, the Corel software tests out the CDR3750 as having a 222ms access time.
- It certainly SEEMS faster than even the speed-doubled drives I've seen.

- One other thing, the included Windows cd-audio player is about the nicest
- thing I ever got for free (I didn't know it was included 'til I found the
- extra disk....)
