Message-ID: <4199@ryn.mro4.dec.com> Date: 25 Mar 91 04:41:19 GMT Sender: guest@ryn.mro4.dec.com Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 19 From users of the CDROM-FS package from Canadian Prototype Replicas, I would like to find out: which hard drive controllers work with this file system and Hypermedia Concepts' Fred Fish CDROM? Which version of controller firmware/software was needed? Were there any troubles reading non-Amiga CDROMs? Since CDROM drivers are supposed to be nearly identical, were there any brands that did _not_ work? The guy in the next cubicle and I have between us a Commodore 2090, an original CLtd. controller and a Supra Wordsync controller. We'd be especially interested in whether anyone has gotten any of these three to work. -- Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Maynard, Mass. plouff@kali.enet.dec.com Networking bibliography: _Islands in the Net_, by Bruce Sterling _The Matrix_, by John S.
