Is this likely to be correct? That a 3100/38
won't be able to boot
from CD? If it can, what sort of CD-ROM drive will I need? Do I need
the special 512KB block support that SPARCstations are supposed to
need? I have an old external Apple drive (CD300, I think) that I hope
will do, if I can come up with the right permutations of SCSI cables
to connect it...
My 3100/30 boots fine off the Hobbyist VMS disc using my
boots-anything Apple CD300 (aka Sony) drive. It's the one with the
removable trays, not built-in. That drive has booted all the Vaxen,
SGI, Suns and NeXT machines I have. Painfully slow, but does the job.
