- SCSI Express for NetWare 3.11 will support the Pioneer CD-ROM 6-disk
- changer on the Novell fileserver. The changer will appear as 6 NetWare
- Volumes, which can be accessed by all your OS/2 clients. One warning, if
- the CD-ROMs will be heavily used then I recommend 6 separate CD-ROM
- drives instead of the disc changer due to performance issues. If you
- would like more information on SCSI Express you can reach our sales
- department at 407-677-8333.
