6525.0. "Rwz53 and Ultrix ?" by NANTES::NGUYEN () Thu Mar 27 1997 08:02

Hello ...

	May I replace a RWZ01 running on ULTRIX MIPS with a RWZ53 ?
	Do I need specific drivers or may I use existing driver yet installed for RWZ01 ?
	Do we support RWZ53 on ULTRIX platform ?

Best regards

6525.1LEFTY::CWILLIAMSCD or not CD, that's the questionThu Mar 27 1997 09:3410
    The short answer is no. 
    
    It's not supported, there are no drivers that I know of, and it
    probably won't work without changing the drive mode from Optical to
    Direct Access. It's never been tested.
    
    What's the issue you are trying to solve?
