One of our AIX PS/2 users, who is a heavy user of DOS Merge,
would like to attach a CD-ROM drive to his Model 70 and
access it under DOS Merge (using the Microsoft CD-ROM
extensions and applications which interface to same, etc.,
etc.) There is no requirement at this time that the CD-ROM
file system be available under AIX PS/2--only DOS.
Nonetheless, I am somewhat wary of just assuming that we
could buy a microchannel card and CD-ROM drive and have
it "just work."
Has anyone anywhere (IBM, Locus, somewhere else) actually
tried such a combination successfully? What hardware
did you purchase? Is this possible to do with the IBM
SCSI controller and the IBM CD-ROM drive?
Thanks for any pointers you can give me,
---
