you do?! great! pliiizzzzzzzzzz! have you still the dip-switch settings? Got
two such drives, left them on id0 cos' I can't get the docs anywhere..
For a bbs they're more than enough, as reader for pressed cd (no cd-r support)

that's my question... the controller is the original Chinon controller, and
the driver from warp 2.11 says "will be supported later". Did not found that
"late support", so I turn myself here. Cos' without that support, indeed, I'm
stuck with windows for his pc...

well, I installed warp4 with it on my ps/2 without a problem; made some test
with warp connect, same good result.
but no way to get it reading cd-r's, and that's baaaaaad... cos' all my
fixpacks are now on cd-r

 WH> to display the load results.  Try that - BTW, what is the adapter?
just guess :-)
cds-323, original long card with internal 50p and external 37p
