On my UC07, you can define the drive as removable. I really don't know what
this does. I'll have to try it. I was going to install a CD-ROM on my
PDP11 anyway.

Subject: MSCP SCSI cdrom behavior
Greeting,
May I ask how an MSCP SCSI controller behaves when a CDROM
drive is connected to it? When there is no CD in the drive,
what does "show dev" console command show? Can I take out the
CD when an OS is running? Can I take out the CD after I
unmount it from the file system?
My controller treats a CDROM drive as a read-only HD now.
Please let me know how other controllers deal with the CDROM
drive. Thank you.
