The following describes my first experiences with using a NEC
3xp CDROM on my Thinkpad 750 computer.
I recently purchased a refurbished NEC 3xp CDROM drive from
JEM Computers in Cambridge, MA (617)497-2500 for $199 and a
NEC parallel to SCSI adapter (Trantor T338 compatible) for $49.
I am very happy with the drive so far.
The drive is a triple speed drive. The parallel to SCSI adapter,
however is only capable of 75 KB/sec read and 150KB/sec write. I
will probably end up purchasing a PCMCIA SCSI card at some point,
but I wanted to be able to use my drive for data and software install while I
am deciding on which PCMCIA card.
The drive came with AC adapter, and headphones. the parallel to SCSI adapter
came with a driver disk. Installation was simple and I had the drive up and
running in less than ten minutes.
I have no connection with NEC or with JEM. I just wanted to share my purchase
experience with those that might be looking at purchasing a CDROM for there
conputer.
