For a DEC machine to understand the data - it must be in files-11 format - unfortunately SUN doesn't use this format. We are current facing the same problem as you - CD's from multiple vendors which apparently require different hardware. Perhaps some wonderful 3rd party manufacturer will produce a CD reader which will be compatible with all the CD's currently available.
