[comp.unix.i386] CD-ROM and 386-unix ?

cep@cci632.UUCP ( co-op) (06/11/90)

I am considering purchasing a CD-ROM player for my computer, with the
ham-radio callsign database.  Before I do this, I want to know that
the thing will work under Unix (it's meant for DOS).  Has anybody
any experience with this contraption?  Specifically, does it look
(to the kernal) enough like a floppy or hard drive that I could
"mount" it from Unix as a dos partition, and access the database?

(Also: does anybody out there know how this callsign database gets
updated, and what it costs to get the new discs?)
