[rescue] CD ROM

[Joshua D. Boyd]

I'll do what I can about the Vax.  I just hope that this place doesn't
have a policy like Pfizer.  Pfizer actually pays the manufactor to take
the machine back and destroy it  Blech.

Anyway, I'm having trouble getting the scsi CD-ROM I bought for my HP and
SS2 to work.  However, I notive that the CD-RW that I bought (yamaha
CDRW4260t) has a jumper labeled block size.  Does this mean that if I swap
it to the external bay it should be able to boot the machines that require
a 512block?  That would be convienient, since I wanted to get an external
case for that drive anyway.
