A few weeks ago I had a problem mounting a CD in a 500AU Personal Workstation.
This is now resolved ... the solution was to reinstall DU4.0C from a CD-ROM.
The only conclusion both DEC and myself can draw is that the install image on the hard
disk of the machine did not contain the appropriate device/driver information.
So be warned!

Subject: UPDATE: Personal Workstation CD-ROM
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,
