Then I read all the horror stories about NEC. I also had some trouble with them. . . they could not sell me drivers. I originally purchased drive from USAFLEX, who also sold me a driver from NEC. This driver may or may not work. The company ClubMac told me that they distribute a proprietary driver called Charismac (sp?) NUBUS. They couldn't sell it to me, however. We are interested in locating that, or in anyone who is successfully using NEC 3XP or 3Xi or any triple-speed NEC drive on Mac.
