indicates that Cristie themselves produced such a driver (in 1995).  To
my knowledge that is the only parallel port mass storage driver ever
written for OpenServer.

Whether the 1995 version written for their "Cristie Quad Speed 
portable CD-ROM unit" would work with a newer faster model, I do not
know.  Nor whether it would work with current OSR5 releases.  Most of
all, I have no idea how you would find a copy...

Hmmm.  Actually, a 1998 article:

  http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=37B2D64B.9C0D4593@sphinxcst.co.uk

specifically mentions the CD1600.  I still have no idea how you would
find a copy of the driver...

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
