Message-ID: <1992Dec7.062022.19508@ulrik.uio.no> Date: 7 Dec 92 06:20:22 GMT Sender: tore@gregers (Tore Solvar Karlsen) Reply-To: Tore.Karlsen@nr.no Organization: Norsk Regnesentral (NR) Lines: 20 Nntp-Posting-Host: gregers.nr.no My original posting included one question about floppy drive malfunction, and one about using Sun CD-ROM together with adaptec 1542b loading the bsd386 software. Several people (thank you!) has correctly pointed out that I most certanly had the two floppy drives enabled on the same address space. This was correct, disabling the original floppydrive solved that problem. I've only got warnings combining the adaptec scsi-adapter and sun CD-ROM. One told me that I'll probably would need a special CDROM driver, and others have told me that the early Sun CDROM's is not quite `SCSI`.
