When I try to boot up on a IIci, the floppy works
ok, and it starts to
search for the CD in the CD drive. The cd drive is a toshiba 5401B, I
pulled from an alpha. It never finds a valid disk. So, to try to
figure out what was wrong, I used BasiliskII (a mac-on-unix emulation)
and tried to mount the CD image as a disk under system 7.6...and it
wanted to format it. Should the CD be mountable?
Not necessarily. I made my CD in Linux too, and it works. But the
list of supported drives is about 5. I've had luck with the Apple 300i,
but none at all with the 600, and luck with an RRD42. Period. My
Toshiba-which-will-even-boot-VMS won't find the CD in A/UX.
