Dont be knocking us mac user :) j/k This linux box has been solid for 3 years. Which equals three years of duplicate/old files in usr and usr/local and other misc junk; mad admin skills i know/ anyone hiring? :) I'll let you know about the Plextor later in the week.

Does anyone have a SCSI cdrom that I can borrow/buy for an old 7500? My linux box is such a hackjob of software that I want to reinstall it with YDL.
I can beat you on that "old". I have a Plextor PX-65CS which I bought Dec 8, 1995 :-). Seriously, if it would be any use to you, you are welcome to try it. It has a two fifty pin centronics connectors (and I have a cable from that to a twenty five pin connector). It uses a caddy but I suspect that is no problem. I assume it will be about as slow as you can get given its birth date. If you cannot do better, feel free to try it.
Low and behold I try it last week and the damn CDROM drive doesnt seem to work! Some files copy, some dont... I will just assume its the drive due to age/heat. So I was hoping someone (near WPI)
I am out in Shrewsbury but my son-in-law is in at Worcester Academy (Steve Daukas, WLUG too) so he might serve as a go-between but I'll not do anything re scheduling there until I hear from you.
had a CDROM drive i could borrow (external would be good).
That the Plextor can do.
The drive i think would have to work in MacOS too (to install BOOTX files).
Not being a MAC prevert, I cannot comment knowledgeably on that.
Such a PITA some times.
All our hearts go out to MAC users :-)
