I don't know if it will work, but would be VERY interested to know if it does.
I have a CDC WrenIII which has a faster tranfer rate than my MacII
can use.  I have a FAST hard drive, but would really like to take
advantage of the fastest transfer rate possible.  In other words, if
you have get a CDC Wren III (the Jasmine drive you mentioned is a
Wren III also) or other drives with <20ms transfer rates, I think it
would be well worth doing something, if something can be done.

When will these wimpy desktops be fast enough? (big :-))
