Hello managers,

I'm trying to use a third party CDROM drive (Pioneer CD-ROM changer
DRM-624X). I could mount and read OS distribution disks and
ISO9660 disks. However, I could not mount Software Product Library
nor Documentation Library. Is it possible to mount these CDROM's
on DRM-624X? (Actually I'd like to keep Documentation disks online
with this changer.)

[device files]
# file /dev/rcd0
/dev/rcd0: block special (8/20480)
# file /dev/rrcd0
/dev/rrcd0: character special (8/20480) SCSI #1 RRDxx disk #96 (SCSI ID #4)

[CDROM's that can be mounted]
Digital Unix 3.2D-2 (Includes V3.2C) Disc 1 of 1 January 1996
  AG-PS3NP-XE
DEC Freesoft CD, etc.

# mount -dr /dev/rcd0 /mnt/cd0
# mount -o ro,rrip -t cdfs /dev/rcd0 /mnt/cd0

[CDROM's that cannot be mounted and error messages]
Digital Unix Alpha Online Documentation Library Disc 1 of 2 January 1996
  AG-PZ4WQ-XE
Digital Unix Alpha Software Product Library Disc 1 of 4 January 1996
  AG-PWXXN-XE

# mount -dr /dev/rcd0 /mnt/cd0
/dev/rcd0 on /mnt/cd0: No valid filesystem exists on this partition
