Hello.
Here is the summary so far about attaching a magneto optical disk on a sun.
First the driver info.
There are some commercial drivers:
mailto:lupe@alanya.m.isar.de
http://www.tracertech.com
http://www.artecon.com
A free driver is at
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/kernel/sd/
Installing info.
On solaris 2.5 i've got no chance to get the mo drive running. On solaris 2.6
you must set the scsi_options to asynchronous (i don't know the parameter,
could anybody help me?) and 'boot -r' should work but you can it only use with
512 Byte blocks.
We have a Fujitsu M2513A and want to use it with 2048 Byte blocks (under linux
it works). We are looking for a free solution.
Thanks to all who have mailed to me.

Here the original question:
