Paul,
Yep, works well with OS/2, but you need to get the drivers from their Web site, they don't come with the devices.
I haven't done any quantitative comparisons when it comes to speed, but my main purpose for it was to have access to large amounts of disk space, make use of the spare dirves I have after upgrading the TP with a larger HD, and save money by not going to SCSI drives or other PCMCIA solutions. (the H45 devices are less than $100 retail) I wouldn't want to use it as my primary drive but it is very adequate for data storage and perhaps archival types of storage. I suppose if you can compare a SCSI CDROM to a parallel CDROM you might have some idea about the speed difference. I don't know because I haven't tried it.
