Note about this drive: If you're tired of trying to get this drive to work in Windows 2000 as a parallel port drive, consider using it as an internal IDE drive. All you have to do is:
(1) Remove the exterior case
(2) Unplug the IDE, audio and power cables from the drive
(3) Take the drive out of the enclosure
(4) Install it into an empty drive bay. (check the jumper settings for master/slave, depending on your configuratin).
This drive is simply an internal CDD3610 adapted to an external parallel port model. For Windows 2000 or XP to recognize it as a CDRW, as with any CDRW, you'll need to have ASPI drivers (download below) loaded, and that's all you need. You won't need the Shuttle drivers mentioned above & elsewhere.

Adaptec Drivers

Note: If you don't have your IDE CDR or CD-RW drivers installed already and Windows XP does not recognize your CDR/CD-RW drive, installing the ASPI layer above should do the trick.
