[comp.unix.ultrix] Magneto-Optical on DECstation or VAXstation/Ultrix 4.0

devin@samwise.Colorado.EDU (Yampalimardilor) (09/13/90)

I'm trying to hook up a Sony Read-Write Optical drive to a DECstation
3100 running Ultrix 4.0.  Apparently the DECstation speaks SCSI2 and
the MO speaks some subset of that.  Therefore, mode select fails.

Does anyone know how to make the DECstation speak to the MO and not freak
when the MO doesn't return enough data?  Is the PROM upgrade for the
Sony the only solution?  Please tell me no...
