G'day all,
I know this one has been asked a couple of times in here but it was
never really answered. Do we support a writeable cdrom on any version
of digital unix? I know that you can get s/w from http://www.ymi.com/
that will make it work but is the actual device supported. My customer
has a Yamaha cde 100 and is wanting to know if it is supported. So far
my searches have come up blank.
Regards
Kym Schwarz

Hi, Kym.
There is no WORM driver for SCSI/CAM on Digital UNIX. The CAM
layered components do not provide one either. So, I don't think
there is a supported writeable cdrom solution currently - someone
will correct me if I wrong. Of course, if it's not in the SPD, then
it's not supported. But, there are several potention SPD's - Digital
UNIX, Cam Layered Components, etc...
This is not to say it won't work. It very well may. But, being
supported is another matter as I'm sure you are aware. I have talked
to people who are using these type of devices on Digital UNIX. Maybe
the drivers from Young Minds will work? You could possibly send them
mail and see...
Hope this helps!
Lee

One would also think that if a 3rd party provides software that supports a particular device when the base operating system doesn't, then the 3rd party software supports the device itself. | |||||

Digital UNIX and CAM can work with just about any SCSI device. The only thing missing is the software that talks to the device through the CAM user agent ioctl interface or a chunk of kernel code to send the correct codes to the WORM drive along with the data. I started some of this code to work with SONY CDW-900E drives but haven't gotten back to finishing up the code. Sean | |||||
