I have an internal desktop panasonic 8x20 CD-R (SCSI) that I'd like to
use with my notebook.

I realise I'd have to buy a PCMCIA SCSI card - any recommendations?

How would I case this drive for portable use?  

Are there any pre-made SCSI enclosures available?  

Any and all help appreciated.

Please post to group.

Tia,
Eddie

I use an Adaptec 1480A SlimSCSI card, works great with 3 different Dell
notebooks and an IBM ThinkPad.

Definitely spring for the extra cash on the 1480 over the other ones.  It
has the largest list of supported peripherals and can support more than 2
devices (some of the other SCSI cards only support 2 peripherals and are
limited in what they do support.)  It is also Ultra SCSI (80MB/s) so you are
set for the future.  I have a scanner, CDRW, DAT, HD and Zip attached to
mine.

You can find the enclosures at
