$20 to anyone who can find me an MS-DOS driver for a Reveal external 2X CD-ROM drive,
model CD 610, FCC ID:
138-EXT-CDROMSLM
Specifics:
ISA controller card: Reveal Computer Products Inc, V1.2, FCC ID: 138-MMCD861
CD-ROM drive: Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries Ltd, model CD-563-B, FCC ID:
IUO9TB008CRB
DIP switch information for switch bank SW1 on the controller card would also be useful.
BTW, I'm not really offering $20... just gratitude. But that's priceless, right?
;)
And if anyone's wondering why I'd want to use such an old peripheral, it's
because it's going on a
dedicated network server I'm setting up (FTP, HTTP, SMTP, NAT, Socks5, and DHCP). The
server only needs a
CD-ROM for two things:
#1, installing the operating system (Win32. Don't laugh. I'm no UNIX pro) and
software distributed by CD
(this is a one-time thing).
#2, providing an "online CD of the week" available for download by FTP and HTTP
(the bottleneck will be in
the server's internet connection bandwidth anyways, not the CD-ROM speed)
