 I just got a Hewlett-Packard combo box containing a 660M SCSI disk (I
guess the equivalent of a WREN-V), a double-sided magneto-optical drive
with 1024byte sectors, and a Toshiba CD-ROM drive on it. Can this
concoction be connected to a Sun (and if so, any ones that it cannot be
connected to?) and/or a NeXT? What major/minor numbers should I use? 

I see no problems accessing the disk, but how about the magnetooptical
(which is obviously not the same as the NeXT built-in thingy) and the CD
ROM?

I have an HP with a SCSI connector, but the thing is in the machine room
connected to a 20G autochanger ("jukebox"), and I'd rather have the CDROM
in my office!

Thanks in advance,
