- You want a SCSI CD-ROM driver. Do you have an Adaptec SCSI card?
- Call Adaptec & get their ES-SCSI or SCSI-Master package. You need
- ASPI4DOS.SYS, ASPIDISK.SYS (or equivilant), and perhaps MSCDEX.EXE
- (The Microsoft Extensions, for High Sierra format & others). I have
- been told that there *may* be a problem w/ block size -- apparently
- the Sony w/ Suns has a 512k block size & DOS likes a 2048k block
- size. I am a little suprised that this would be a characteristic
- of the drive, and not the media (the cd-rom you stuff into it...)
-
- This is all information that I got yesterday, and I have NOT got
- my Sun CD-ROM working yet! So take this info for what it's worth.
