We have Sun 3/60, SunOS 3.5, SCSI disk (Micropolis) ?175 MEG and would like to be able to connect a H-P series 6300 Model 650/A rewritable optical disk drive to the spare SCSI port of the existing disk. I know this is a much-discussed topic, but cannot recall any mention of this type of disk. The H-P has a 50-pin Centronics port, is it correct to connect every pin to the same-numbered one on the SUN disk (except Pin 26)? Will this version of SUN-OS be able to drive the disk? the manual gives a long list of which SCSI commands are recognised (I will send them if anybody asks) also: 18751 tracks/side, 15875 tracks/inch, 17or 31 sectors/track, 1024 or 512 bytes/sector (media dependent) Thank you very much if anybody can help us.
