Dual-booting my DEC 4000-710 at last! - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
 One problem... we tried to put a CD-R of the AXP/VMS
6.1 disc into
the RRD42 and it didn't like it.  Has anyone else had any experience
with DEC CD-ROM drives and burned media?  Do I need to get a different
drive here?  Will a Sun-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive work in place
of an RRD42?  (in case the 512 byte/2048 byte sector thing is an
issue). 
I have the same problems with an RRD42 here.
Two RRD43s and a TOSHIBA XM-3401TA all work well.
My RRD44 spat out a CD-R when I tried it just now
(but that may be a bad CD-R).

I suspect it's an age thing - an RRD46 would
probably be fine.
