Sorry for the post; my mailer hates ! paths.... Ken, What is occurring is as follows: 1.) When I go the route that you recommended {smit-f/s-add-cdrom} I am told that there ain't none of that there type... SO 2.) I bop over to the devices menu and go to cdrom. It tells me that I don't got none of them "defined" but I do have one sup- ported {cdrom1 scsi CD-ROM Drive} Ok Now I know it is there and it (the ODMCFG I believe the name is) knows it is there, but when I go to Add a CD ROM drive, it likes my drive type {cdrom1 scsi CD-ROM Drive} and it likes my Parent Adapter {scsi0 Available 00-08 SCSI I/O Controller} BUT it most definitely does not like anything that I offer up for Connection address. My 150mB tape drive is connected at 00-08-00-60 according to the God of SMIT, so I am assuming that the adapter is hunk-dory. 3.) I talked to me local support person (G.Abboud out of B-more) and he and I walked through this over the phone. He is not sure what is happening here either. He suggested that I call in a SE to poke around at the cabling and switch settings inside. I am probably going to do this, since he said that they get most sad when us software types play with the hardware.... Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am definitely open to any suggestions that you may have for figuring this out. -dave bonnett- bonnett@umd5.umd.edu
