16-10-40X CD-R/W in my RS/6000 397, but I can't get the SCSI to recognize
the drive. I have no idea why. The drive is at ID5. The main CD-ROM in
the machine is at ID6 and is a 20X Wide Plextor, which works just fine. I
have termination disabled on all devices, and I have a wide terminator on
the end of the cable.
I'm willing to be wrong, but I doubt that a 3xx-series (or 5xx or 9xx)
will see any CD device that's not either Plextor or blessed by IBM, as
evidenced by IBM badge.
You might look at the comp.unix.aix archives for more details.
