Just a quick question; I have an old NEC 3x external
SCSI CDROM, and
i'm in need of a CDROM for my VAXstation 3100. Assuming I found the
right cables, could that CDROM be used?
It depends. It needs 512-byte blocks, most PC CD-ROMS use 2048-byte
blocks. The big problem might be the cable if you want an external CD. I
have plugged a 3rd Party Mac CD-ROM directly into one of the internal
cables before I got a external cable.
I like Toshiba 4x SCSI CDROM drives.
