Hi again sun-managers!

I had a problem with an Apple CD-ROM complaining under Sol 2.4 - it turned
out to be a 512 / 2048 byte block size problem. I reported in my summary
that I hadn't managed to get it to work.

I got a "me-too" from Melanie Dymond Harper (mel@vanyel.herald.co.uk); I
posted her my summary also. Anyway, I got the following mail from her:

I tried the program and it worked for me as well - although sometimes I get
this back from the CD-ROM instead:

May 26 11:06:29 scope unix: WARNING: /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@5,
8400000/esp@5,8800000/sd@5,0 (sd5):
May 26 11:06:29 scope unix: Error for command 'mode select' Error

May 26 11:06:29 scope unix: ASC = 0x2c (command sequence error), ASCQ =
0x0, FRU = 0x0

when I try to run the program. I'm not sure why - it doesn't seem to matter
what I do - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, it's working
now so I don't intend to reboot :-)

Thanks again to Melanie, and this list in general

Jack
