hi,

i am not the original poster, but i can answer that.
drivers for cd-rom is free from MV, but for SCSI HD driver, it is $49
from trantor. The speed of PAS16 scsi port is rated at 690kb/sec, so
it is more than enough for cd-rom, tapes or other slower scsi devices.
and yes including double-speed cd-rom which is ~300kb/sec.

also, if you hook it up to SCSI HD, it can't be the main partition since
the card doesn't have the ROM required for boot process.
