Where can I get information on SCSI controllers for CD-ROM drives?

Many SCSI drive vendors recommend the Adaptec 1542-B SCSI Card. The phone number for Adaptec is 800-959-7274 or 408-945-2550.

BusLogic (formerly BusTek) makes a very extensive line of SCSI cards for ISA, EISA, MCA, and VL bus systems. Their ISA, EISA, and MCA cards are register compatible with Adaptec's boards and hence have excellent driver support. Their number is (408)492-9090.

All modern Macintosh computers have SCSI built-in. Macintosh users should insure that the CD-ROM drive they intend to buy is supported on Macintosh machines by the vendor; many vendors recommend "FWB CD-ROM Toolkit", which can generate high-performance drivers that include cacheing (see [50]) for a modest price.

Trantor has a BBS at 510-656-5159. Set modem to 8 bits data, 1 stop bit and no parity. You can get product information, and their latest drivers there.

[ If anyone sends me info on other scsi controllers, I will include the info here. ]
