My original question is:

> I need to write a CD-ROM driver code?
answers:
Dr. Warren and Dr. Rollow suggested to check the CD-ROM drive sector size.
UNIX requires 512 byte sector size.
Dr. Blinn, Dr. Rioux and Dr. Rollow suggested to check if CDFS is built in
kernel, e.g. grep -i cdfs /sys/conf/<HOSTNAME>
Dr. Blinn said the current Digital UNIX OS may not support Panasonic CD-ROM
drive, but there will be some great improvements in a future release
(v4.0d?).
Suggestion from Dr. Warren and Dr. Blinn is return this CD-ROM drive to
vendor and buy another one from Digital brand.
