Absolutely. I'm certain for two reasons. First, the CD ROM has the same
SCSI ID as the A/UX drive that I removed from the SCSI chain (it went to
the SE/30). Second, I used Jasmine's DriveWare to see what devices were
recognized at what address and sure enough, they were all there where they
should be. Is it possible that the CD ROM player driver is incompatible
with one of those devices (the Daynfile or the CMS tape drive?)?????

This is very nasty, yes?
