The reson for that is you need either the SCSIfied version or the earlier
plain 3.5" with a SCSI bridge board. Both will be hard to find.

There are plenty of SCSI Cdroms that work fine.

I did SCSI Cdrom load of the 7.2kit on my 3100 using a sony unit I had
laying around. Works just fine. May be a drive interface problem like
termination or cabling.
