I am afraid I have never had a cdu31a (Hardware contributions welcome),
so the port to uniform was done rather blindly, with most of the work
being contributed by Heiko Eissfeldt <heiko@colossus.escape.de>. Also,
when I did the sbpcd port, I had borrowed an sbpcd drive from my work.
After a week, the I.S. people wanted it back, and all patches since then
have been contributions (Mostly all by Heiko as well). Not to despair
though, since I recently went out and bought one (an sbpcd compatable) at
a used computer store for $20US (too much), and I just got it into my
machine the other day. All I have done with it so far is to install
the thing in my box and mount a CD (which worked just fine with kernel
2.1.90). So, now that I have an sbpcd drive, exactly what are the
problems with sbpcd?
BTW, anybody know where one would look to find docs on sbpcd compatable
drives?
