- Our public library has asked me to look into a CD ROM reader for our VAX 6210.
- I searched through the electronic store and looked through the DEC direct
- catalog, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I found some SCSI and
- Qbus readers, but nothing for BI. I couldn't find the bus adapters to use the
- SCSI or Qbus devices. (I'm sure there is, or at least used to be, a BI to Qbus
- adapter. I think it was called a KLESI or something like that). If it comes
- down to a choice between a SCSI or Qbus device I would prefer SCSI. The
- library wants to be able to read ISO 9660 format CD ROM disks, so such
- capability will be necessary. I would appreciate any guidence which you can
- provide as to what hardware and software will fit their needs.
-
- I would also like to know about any experiences setting up CD ROMs for a
- library which any of you might have had.
-
- Please reply directly to me. I will summarize to the net if the response
- warrants it.
