- Hmm, i didn't know there was a problem with it. I've got the NEC CDR-73 - the
- MacOS mounts it fine, and then A/UX starts up and that CD volume is still
- available. But it's just the System-7 CD, i don't have any Unix CDs, and i
- haven't tried switching CDs under A/UX. Is that where the problem is?
