Hoi Netlanders,

An increasing number of CD-disks are coming across my desk. But the
origin sources of these disk differ a lot. Up to now I have at least 3
different Hardware vendors that send me CD-disks now and then. 

In the process of buying an CD-player I wonder, whether there is
any form of compatibility between the CD-players and the data format on
disk, because I donot like to buy 3 different (or even more)
CD-players for each architecture of computer equipement.  

Dec has the RRD40 with SCSI interface for serveral machines. Is there
any chance that another none DEC SCSI player would work as well. (e.g.
Sun Microsystems current CD-player, I believe its number is X559H !)

Another question would be: Are the filesystem formats compatible ? 
(I donot mean the distribution formats because they are always
different !)

So in  general has any body experience with connecting a none DEC
CD-player to DEC hardware, or vice versa.



Thanks, so far

Eugene
