- Hello linux hackers
-
- I have just finished installing the SLS distribution of linux
- over the weekend. Congratulation to linus and the authors
- of sls. You guys give hackers a good name. The points is
- SLS is now 15 disk and growing to morw than 20. Time to
- go CDROM. On that subject DAK sells a CDROM with controller
- for $199. I alspo received a compuadd catalog on Aug 20
- that has a Cdrom and card for $169. So the price isn't
- as steep. I know that there is a SCSI cdrom driver in development
- , but they seem a lot more expensive.
-
- $150 for the Adaptec board supported.
- $250 for the cheapest scsi cdrom.
-
- How about the linus community agree upon one of the minimaly
- priced cdrom unix about and create drivers it. This would
- create a defacto common linux cdrom drive.
-
- I have just started playing with linux, maybe one I look
- at the code dor the current SCSI cdrom driver I can consider
- trying to make my own. But I know writing unix device drivers
- is not for the fain of hear :)
