Hello,

I just bought a P5 system to put FreeBSD on.  But I made a 
mistake in my selection of CD-ROM drives.  I bought a Sony IDE
drive..   Everything else is SCSI, and I'm looking for the
name of a SCSI CD-ROM that will be plug and play with the 
installation program.  

Can anyone out there in Netland clue me in as to what kinds/brands
of SCSI CD-ROM I should be looking for in the Shopper. I'd rather
have a SCSI, but if there are any other kinds of CD-ROMs that will
fly, please clue me in.  (In the HARDWARE file Panasonic and Mitsumi
were mentioned, but the interface wasn't specified.)

Aaarrgh, and thanks.

gary
