Makela) writes: Does anyone know of a mailing list or similar discussing CD-ROM hardware and software (including available disks, of course) ? If not, what about a newsgroup like alt.cd-rom ? CD-ROM is a mainstream enough thing that you'd expect to see discussion of it somewhere in comp. If I had to pick a name out of a hat (other than comp.cd-rom) it would probably be comp.periphs.cd-rom. By analogy with the scsi group, I guess. The discussion I've seen of CD-ROM stuff has been scattered far and wide -- a couple of X windows based interfaces to play audio CDs in Sun CD-ROM players, an announcement of the Sun User Group CD-ROM, etc. Would a new newsgroup draw all of this discussion out into one place? Possibly. Followups to comp.periphs.scsi. --Ed emv@ox.com
