[alt.sources.wanted] CD player emulator for R6000 & AIX

steve@otto.bf.rmit.oz.au (Steve Iatropoulos) (03/13/91)

	See, we have this R6000 box sitting in our machine room and I wante
	to put it to good use :-)  I have plans to make it nameserve for us
	but that will be such a waste of a good Cd-Player :-) So, has
	anybody got anything that will emulate a cd player (with sources
	if possible), so that one can at least select tracks, view track sizes
	etc?  I would also appreciate any information on how to access the 
	/dev/cd0 block device in such a way as to send data to the 
	headphones also.

	Much appreciated,
	Steve

   There is a lot of information about programming the CD-ROM in the
  info files under 'CD-ROM SCSI Device Driver', 'cd Special file',
  'Physical Volumes and the Logical Device Driver' ans some others.
    Some body here at our school mades a curses interface to play
  music CD's, if you like I can send you an uuencoded version of the
  executable file ( I can't sent you the sources 'cause I don't know
  where they are :) )
