- Does anyone know why the NeXT recognizes a WORM drive and assigns it to
- /dev/rsdx. The rs device driver has no idea how to handle a WORM drive and
- autodiskmount totally barfs on it. It seems to me that the OS should ignore the
- drive if it doesn't know how to handle it.
-
- This is hampering my efforts to right my own driver to handle the drive.
