I have the Panasonic 562B attached to a SBPro, and I am using the drivers I downloaded from CompuServe, version 4.04. These work fine, basically, although for some strange reason MPC Wizard shows the access times and transfer rates to be a little ridiculous (3ms, 4000 kbytes/sec) with smooth Video for Windows at 300 kbytes/sec. HOWEVER, I have trouble with two DOS-based CD's, Sherlock Holmes Vol. II and Mixed-Up Mother Goose, unless I switch to the driver version 4.03 which came on a disk with the drive. The problem with this driver is that MPC Wizard reports the drive to be able to transfer data at no more than 270 kbytes/sec under a 60% load, and Video for Windows loses frames at the 300 kbytes/sec test. What to do? --------------------------------------------------------- Mitch Regenbogen Brooklyn, New York mreg@pipeline.com It's Easier To Get Forgiveness Than Permission
