Re:
Also, what are others' experiences with 3rd-party
IDE CD-ROM drives,
SCSI CD-ROM drives? I've never tried an IDE one, and have not seen an
HP-UX system with one.
As for SCSI CD-ROM drives, I seem to recall that HP-UX seems to require a
particular block size (512 bytes?) to boot correctly ... and that early
Texel (renamed Plextor) SCSI drives didn't work with it. I've booted
with a couple of non-HP SCSI external CD-ROM drives successfully. (Sorry,
can't recall the name/model# ... will open a box up and look if needed.)
