Our public library has asked me to look into a CD ROM reader for our VAX 6210. 
I searched through the electronic store and looked through the DEC direct
catalog, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.  I found some SCSI and
Qbus readers, but nothing for BI.  I couldn't find the bus adapters to use the
SCSI or Qbus devices.  (I'm sure there is, or at least used to be, a BI to Qbus
adapter.  I think it was called a KLESI or something like that).  If it comes
down to a choice between a SCSI or Qbus device I would prefer SCSI.  The
library wants to be able to read ISO 9660 format CD ROM disks, so such
capability will be necessary.  I would appreciate any guidence which you can
provide as to what hardware and software will fit their needs.

I would also like to know about any experiences setting up CD ROMs for a
library which any of you might have had.

Please reply directly to me.  I will summarize to the net if the response
warrants it.


John
