[SunRescue] RE: Ken's SS/5-170 case...

[Ken Hansen]

Mike,

My SS/5-170 (in deed, all the SS/5s *I've* seen - must be nearly six of them ;^) were of the "skinny CD-ROM drive" variety, which would make it an Aurora case, IIRC.

The reason you can only put a 4x drive in it is because that is the fastest available drive in that particular size. There are reports of faster, but they were not designed for this application and appear to be hard to find.

*If* I had an Aurora2 case, I certainly could shove a faster drive inside...

I will map the internal CD-ROM to oldcdrom (thanks for the tip!) and a faster, external drive to cdrom using the openboot prom devalias command (IIRC).

OK I am confused. Does Ken's 'unladen' SS5-170 have the standard Aurora or
Aurora 2 case? I thought the CD-ROM in the A2 was of a standard CD-ROM 5.25
1/2 height standard like the rest of the world? Having asked that why can't
you put anything faster than a 4x in the beastie?

I guess I will have to dig out the SS5-110 I have here in an A2 case and
see.
