  We present simultaneous high time resolution (1-10 Hz) X-ray and optical
observations of the persistent LMXBs Sco X-1 and V801 Ara(=4U 1636-536). In the
case of Sco X-1 we find that the Bowen/HeII emission lags the X-ray
light-curves with a light travel time of ~11-16s which is consistent with
reprocessing in the donor star. We also present the detection of three
correlated X-ray/optical bursts in V801 ara. Although this latter project is
still in progress our preliminary results obtained by subtracting the Continuum
light-curve from the Bowen/HeII data provide evidence of orbital phase
dependent echoes from the companion star.
