It seems that they had to write a disktab entry
This is a quote:
I was unable to get the cartridges to format with
ty=removable_rw_optical but
they did work with ty=removable_rw_scsi. I haven't figured that out
yet. The
only problem with this is that they appear with an ugly SCSI icon
instead of
the nice optical icon on automount in the workspcae. I fixed this by
going
into /usr/lib/NextStep/Workspace.app/WM.app, renamed scsi.tiff to
OLDscsi.tiff
and openScsi.tiff to OLDopenScsi.tiff, and then copied optical.tiff and
openOptical.tiff to scsi.tiff and openScsi.tiff. So now autoMount disks
of
type removable_rw_scsi appear on the Workspace with the optical tiff.
I've tuned the disktab for space optimization instead of speed since we
primarily use our optical more like a WORM so there should be very
little
fragmentation.
The disktab works with the Workspace auto-initialize routines, except
that it
can't determine whether the cartridge is 512byte/sector or
1024byte/sector.
I've set our's up to auto-initialize properly for the 1024byte/sector
disks,
and require a command line format for 512byte/sector disks with:
disk -t PINNACLEOHD-1200 -i /dev/rsd1a
Add these line to /etc/disktab after the cannon OM entry
# Pinnacle Micro Sierra optical disk drive
# ECMA 512 byte/sector media
# Disktab generated by Jessica Hayden from SunOS /etc/format.dat entry
# and NextAnswers document 1533.
