How do I put a CD-ROM Drive on a Novell network?

  1. SCSI Express. Corel Corp. SCSI drives only, NLM only.
  2. OptiNet by OnLine in Germantown, MD. Both NLM and separate CD-Server. Any type of drive supported. Up to 128 drives per server.
  3. CD-Net by Meridian in Colorado. Software only version of the Meridian CD-Server. Used to be limited to 21 drives, but may have been upgraded. Not sure if NLM version is currently available.
Also, CBIS has a hardware/software solution that supports up to 21 drives per server. No NLM.

All the packages run about $700 for 8 users or less.

[ If anyone has used any of these products, and would like to recommend yes or no, please let me know.]

Corel sells a SCSI driver package that include NLM's to put worm drives, CD-Roms etc on a 3.1+ server. The package also includes dos drivers for just about every device you would want to connect to SCSI. Only costs about $70.
