I am trying to use a Maxtor Tahiti 1 optical disk with SunOS 4.1.1. This very same disk worked under SunOS 4.0.3. It does not matter whether it is on a 3/60, 4/280, or a 4/330 which is running SunOS 4.1.1, I always get the same results. I have tried different disks (known to work) and I always get the same failure. Under 4.1.1 at boot time you see the message on the screen when it is probing for the optical disk. At this time you see the light on the optical disk come on and stay lit for about 4-6 seconds then go out. The OS claims it did not find the disk. I have tried it with both asynchronous I/O enable and disabled, but I get the same results. My question is this, how do I debug this problem? What should I be looking for, what should I be reading. I do not know very much about the SCSI interface, any pointers to a better device driver, or some documents to read would be appre- ciated. If I get any answers or helpful hints I will summarize. Many thanks, Bill Gilroy wmg@pixels.att.com PS. We do not have a source license. PSS. The firmware level in the optical disk is D8.
