Update on my CDROMing

[brian.hammack@rook.wa.com (Brian Hammack)]

What, no replies to my question about Toshiba CDROM drivers?
 
Anyway, things have been rectified.  Turns out the RF.SCSI2 driver
works adequately (play, eject) with the Toshiba drives; don't know
about data but DEVLIST recognises there is an ISO 9660 disk online.
I'm selling the drive to someone because...
 
Turns out this CDROM I bought at a thriftstore for $1.49 many moons ago
and I could never get recognised DOES work.  Turns out it's an NEC
drive, and all devices on the chain must be powered on for it to be
seen for some reason.  The RF.NEC driver does produce good results
(play, eject, change track, channel toggle) and it recognises a data
disk and puts it on the desktop (reading and copying files is not quite
perfect but hey...).  I had a good drive here all along.  :)
 
So to answer for future generations:  Always try the RF.SCSI2 driver if
you can't get results any other way, you might be surprised.  [That is
if you have a RamFast.  You Apple SCSI card users are s.o.l.]

wishing there were a System.Setup init that put a CD controller in CDAs
