The saga continues re the Toshiba XM-5702B IDE CD-ROM in my Personal Workstation
500AU (under DU 4.0C).

It is not a hardware problem - can boot from a firmware upgrade CD-ROM at the
console >>> prompt

The /dev/rz0c device is correct for a master IDE device on the primary IDE controller.

However, running scu the following warning is issued:

# /sbin/scu -f /dev/rrz0c
Warning: Inquiry (CD-ROM XM-5702B ) and system (CD-ROM X) device names are different.
scu>

Does this mean the product identification from the inquiry is different to the (generic?)
driver used by the kernel?

If so, what driver should be built into the kernel?

Thanks,

Steve Dunstan
