There have been a few postings on the net about making the optical disks
a user mountable data drive. I need to do the same sort of thing but
I've been stymmied. I have had to do a few things that I didn't like
security wise, but that's not my major concern. The following is what
I've done...
add a group 'optical' to let specific people use the disk
chgrp optical /dev/*od* /etc/mnt /etc/disk
chmod 664 /dev/*od* (This will let optical users write data to the OD.
chmod 4750 /etc/mnt /etc/disk
This let's me access the optical with the disk command. I can now eject
and init ANY drive on our cube (hard drive included)
The problem is that when I try to mount the optical to anywhere (even as
root) I always get (after the disk spinup) device busy.
Has anyone gotten beyond this point? I need to 'hot' mount opticals
after booting.
Also, when we got our cube, we had a problem with voice mail and
stealth. Whenever you played back voice mail or contacted the tower in
stealth, the voice was playing back at a low sample rate (it sounded
about 2-3 octaves lower then the original).
We fixed this by recompiling the soundtest app in the Example directory
and then sfrecording a sound and playing it back with soundtest.
for some reason this seemed to clear some bit in the DSP and since then
the voice mail plays back at a normal level now.
Does anyone know what caused this and if there's a better way to clear
the DSP???
Thanks,
Tom Leach

a) Is it possible to make the following memory configurations on
a NeXTstation?
2 * (4 MB SIMM) + 6 * (1 MB SIMM) to make up 14 MB RAM;
3 * (4 MB SIMM) + 5 * (1 MB SIMM) to make up 17 MB RAM.
b) Is it possible to connect an Apple ImageWrite LQ to a NeXTstation?
What about software availability?
Many thanks to any help.
