I don't know about the Canadian Prototype, but if the Supra Wordsync supports SCSIDirect commands, then the driver from Xetec should work. I spoke with them a couple months ago to ask whether a Sony CDROM (the one being sold from DAK) and my 2091 would work.. They said that they have a Sony driver that should work with ANY HD controller that supports SCSIDirect. According to the people at DAK that drive they are selling (for the IBM) is a Sony SCSI, so it should work. Gee, doesn't DEC sell a CDROM drive for like $25,000 or so? :-) >-- >Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Maynard, Mass. >plouff@kali.enet.dec.com > >Networking bibliography: _Islands in the Net_, by Bruce Sterling > _The Matrix_, by John S.
