$20 to anyone who can find me an MS-DOS driver for a Reveal external 2X CD-ROM drive, model CD 610, FCC ID:
138-EXT-CDROMSLM

Specifics:
  ISA controller card: Reveal Computer Products Inc, V1.2, FCC ID: 138-MMCD861
  CD-ROM drive: Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries Ltd, model CD-563-B, FCC ID: IUO9TB008CRB

DIP switch information for switch bank SW1 on the controller card would also be useful.

BTW, I'm not really offering $20... just gratitude. But that's priceless, right? ;)

And if anyone's wondering why I'd want to use such an old peripheral, it's because it's going on a
dedicated network server I'm setting up (FTP, HTTP, SMTP, NAT, Socks5, and DHCP). The server only needs a
CD-ROM for two things:

#1, installing the operating system (Win32. Don't laugh. I'm no UNIX pro) and software distributed by CD
(this is a one-time thing).

#2, providing an "online CD of the week" available for download by FTP and HTTP (the bottleneck will be in
the server's internet connection bandwidth anyways, not the CD-ROM speed)
