One additional bit of info I can give you on the Viking boards is that you
want as new of firmware as possible in the EPROM if you want to use a
CD-ROM drive. Not all 512-byte CD-ROM drives will work. I've seen drives
that will work on a DEC Alpha not work on it. However, I've had good luck
with Plextor Caddy drives (6x and 8x). I think the other drive I got to
work was an RRD-42 (DEC Caddy drive).

I've no idea on the CMD, but for the Viking
it is more than just the EPROM
and PAL.
Are you sure? I thought the only difference was those two ICs, but if
you know more, I'd be interested to know what else is different.
