I would like to purchase one of these and use it on a Sun workstation. Being a novice CD Rom user, I don't know if this is feasible. It seems as if this type of drive is usually sold for PC applications. If you have any information about this drive including the availability of a Unix device driver and a good vendor from which to purchase it, please let me know. Thanks, Jon Hull hull@cs.buffalo.edu

I can't help you with using this drive on any specific machine, but there is a "feature" you may want to know about in advance. The Phillips / LMSI CD-ROM drives use a different disk carrier than *anybody* else. You won't be able to exchange disks with someone who uses the Sony type carrier that the rest of the CD-ROM world uses.
