They shuffled a couple of times after installing drivers. After rebooting, they shuffled once through and then haven't again. I have had a couple of eroneous errors while installing software fron the NEC. I got error messages saying there was not a CD in my E:\ or F:\ drives. Thes are internal CD-RW & DVD-RW drives. I can tolerate these messages if it will allow me to make use of some older SCSI peripheral devices. I will not have time to thoroughly test the changer or scanner for a couple of weeks. Let me know if you find a better method for connecting the NEC under W2k. This seemed too just easy to pass-up and I didn't want to remove my 2940 from the old PC. I want to have access to some of the software on that PC until I complete the upgrade/transfer process. Good luck, James

x) Just keep your hands in your pants, they're not working on the keyboard! Have all 1219 of your posts been this useless? PS. Hide those system specs, that's a poor excuse for a PC.

I never transfered my 2940 adapter from the Win95 PC, so the 1st and only method I used for my SCSI devices in W2k was the USB-to-SCSI adapter. Anyway, it seems to work... however, I haven't done any thorough testing. One problem I always had with the NEC in Win95 was the constant shuffling of the CDs, I never could figure out why the system was constantly trying to re-learn the drives. Have you seen this problem? I hope I don't see it with W2k! Good Luck

WOW! I rarely have an answer to questions, but it's my turn now! I just upgraded to a new PC (Win2k) from a Win95/WinNT sytem. I wanted to keep my external SCSI devices, the NEC changer and a Microtek E6 scanner. I just finished connecting them and Win2k recognized both devices, even the CD titles I had in the drives. I decided not to use my 2940, but instead purchased an Adaptec USB 2.0 controller (AUA-5100) and a USB-to-SCSI adapter (USB2-XCHANGE). I ordered both online form Adaptec's site on Monday, 2-day FedX. I saw several articles talking about issues with termination, but it wasn't a problem. The NEC was first in my chain and I had termination at the scanner. Also, the advertisements quote up to 7 devices ;( , but there's a asterisk that references a limit of 4 devices in the chain. Either way, I only had two devices, so it wasn't a concern. Hope this helps you make use of your changer. James
