613.0. "Can Jensen be booted from SONY CDROM" by COL01::VSEMUSCHIN (Duck and Recover !) Tue May 13 1997 15:47

    I use Sony CD-ROM on Jensen Alpha. Jumpers are set correctly and CD-ROM
    works OK. But when I try to boot it I get '84 Boot Failed' Error. 
    Firmware (from 3.8 FW CDROM) shows is as generic CD-ROM, DUNIX can
    recognize that it is one from SONY. Adaptec SCSI card has G2 EPROM.
    
    Is it possible to boot Jansen from SONY CD-ROM ?
    If YES then HOW ?
    
    TIA

	The RRD42 was a SONY cdrom. If you set the parity jumper on it then it became a DEC CDROM, removing the jumper made it a SONY. I seem to remember that 84 fail was a CDROM that didn't work in 512byte blocks. Gordon
