- I kwow this might be a bit weird but I need to know if anybody out
- there that is using their PC as a dual NT/Unix box(I can't afford 2 High-end
- PC's). I'm currently running Consensys SVR4.0 release 1.3. I need a
- recommendation on a CD-ROM drive to use as well as the SCSI adapter.
-
- I haven't found any information about running a CD-ROM on Unix 4.0
- but I might upgrade to 4.2 (or completely forget about it,unless I can find
- drivers for 4.0 with filesystem support).
-
- Both Microsoft and USL (for Unix 4.2) have a hardware compatibility
- list and the common devices are:
-
- CD-ROM
-
- NEC CD-82
- Pionner DRM-600
- Sony CDU-541,CDU-6211,CDU-7211
- Toshiba TXM-3201B
-
- Adapters
-
- Adaptec AHA-1540B,AHA-1542B,AHA-1640,AHA-1740
- DPT PM2012B
- IBM SCSI Host Adapter
-
- So, if somebody has already gone through this mess your help will be
- appreciated as I don't want to spend my money on a combination that doesn't
- work.
-
- thanks,
