> Hi, does anyone know of a non-HP CD ROM available for the 425T?
I don't know for sure, but I'd expect that you could use most 
CD-ROM drives.  Mentor Graphics is using the Toshiba XM-3201 for
their CD-ROM software and documentation.

However, I don't believe you can run a CD-ROM on a 425t yet.  The
425t requires PSK8, and the CD-ROM drivers are on PSKQ2_91.  The
installation notes for PSKQ2_91 state "NOTE: PSK Q2-91 is not
compatible with PSK8.  Do not install PSK8 with this software."
Later, on page 1-16, it also says 
"One or more CD-ROM readers may be atached to the following node types:
...
SAU12 - Series 400t/s but not on 68040 systems (425t/433s)"

I assume that PSK8 and PSKQ2_91 went through parallel development,
and now they need to merge the two lines again.
