I hate it when this happens... As it turns out, it's not an RRD40 CD-ROM drive I should be after. According to a manual I just picked up, it's the RRD50. With that in mind... Allison? Tim? Would either of you happen to have a line on a DEC RRD50 drive and controller? And no, Allison, I've not given up on MOPbooting. It would just be a Nice Thing if I didn't have to depend on that every time I needed to do a load. Thanks in advance. ==Bruce 'Why me?' Lane (kyrrin(a)wizards.net)
