[aclug-L] Re: Panasonic SCSI CDR Drive (Was Re: CDRW Drive)

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Panasonic made some non-SCSI CD-ROM drives... perhaps that's what you had
problems with in Linux?

BTW, I think there is support for them... it's under the "Non-standard
CD-ROM support" secton of the kernel configuration.

I've used one of those drives before... had it's on proprietary ISA card to
go with it :-)
