Hi,
Perhaps someone can protect me from purchasing a cdrom drive that can
not be used with NetBSD. The two cdrom drives that I am interested in
are both manufactured by NEC and are quad speed types. One is IDE
(EIDE?) and can internally support 4 cds the second is SCSI and can
internally 7 cds. I guess my questions are:
* can they be used with netbsd?
* can one switch between disks? If it has to be done with those
buttons on the front that is fine.
Either drive look like great devices and I should be happy with them
under Windows or such but I want to make certain that the investment
also is usable under NetBSD. I was not certain if NetBSD supported IDE
cdrom drives however I am partial to the SCSI type simply to make use of
this expensive SCSI adaptor...
Thanks for the help!
