You know, there is a handy VMS command called HELP:
Eeep. I didn't read far enough down on the examples.
2. When doing
a show dev on a VS3100/40, the cdrom drive should show
up on the device list, right? (I suspect I goofed up the wiring on the
CDROM case)
Yes, it should, as a "RO" (Read Only) device.
One potential gotcha - your 3100 most likely has the host adapter at ID#6.
So the CD-ROM obviously has to have a different ID. It absolutely expects parity, though most drives will
generate parity on output
and ignore it on input if jumpered for no parity. It also prefers drives that
can be jumpered for 512 bytes/sector (though in some cases it will succesfully
do a MODE SELECT to override a 2048 byte/sector setting.).
Ahhh. Okay. I'll try the drive as is, then. :)
Many thanks, Tim.
