[SunHELP] how to use my Yamaha 8224S CDRW with my Sparc20?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Sameer

The only usual issue with CD's on Sun systems is whether they can boot the
Solaris CD's. Some CD's can (sometimes via jumpering) and some cannot, other
than this all of the CD's I have ever tried (SCSI) can be used with a system
as a mountable drive from the running O/S. I have never tried running any
CDRW software so cannot comment on writing to any drive.

Is it possible to use my Yamaha CDRW with my Sparc20?  I recall something
about
how CDROM drives had to have something (I'd aprpeciate if someone could
remind
me what it was) so that they'd be compatible with Sparc Stations...  I don't
know if my CDRW has this... if it doesn't... is it possible to somehow
modify
it so that it does become compatible with my Sparc20?
