- While the Trantor drive does not work with the instant install disks,
- there are Trantor drivers and the person at the computer shop here
- a U of T simply modified the two install disks with the Trantor driver
- and did the install of the Beta from the CD using the Trantor and
- the CDR25 drive. Apparently the 25 is compatible with the 36 but slower.
- He hadn't finished the install when I left... but it was working.
