Saw an interesting discussion about CD-ROMs with MSCP SCSI (YES, a
CD-ROM ISO with XXDP would be truly awesome!) and this got me thinking
about my own UC07 controller - if I've understood correctly, this
controller does not support SCSI tape.
I don't really know anything about MSCP or the SCSI command set that CD
writers use - but could a CD-R(W) drive be used as a backup device?
I know it's bad style to do backups on CD-R, but bear with me :)
Also, now that I think about it, the perverse bugger that I am, could an
MSCP controller send an Audio CD Play/Next Track/etc. command to the
CD-ROM? Would be awesome to have a hifi controlled by the PDP-11. :)
TIA,
