I've got GS/OS installed on my IDE drives and I work from them, but I
thought it would be neat to add a CD-ROM to access large amounts of data (or
programs) quickly. So you say I should just use the advanced disk utilities.
Do these work on SCSI drives only? And would you know why the Apple SCSI
utilities don't show my drive? I can't load a CD-ROM either...
This is all very buggy :-(

Bill, can you tell me what I need the mod for? I thought that it is
sufficient for one device on the SCSI Bus to supply termination power. What
is this mod actually for?

I don't need it in 8 Bit, it would be fine if showed up on my GS/OS Desktop
:-)
