Hi,

I just saw a previous article confirming that the Sun CD-ROM works on a NeXT.
Has anyone tried a NeXT CD-ROM on a Sun?  I first changed the SCSI number from
the factory setting of 4 to 6.  That got the Sun to recognize the CD-ROM drive
at reboot time.  Then I tried to mount the CD-ROM with the following command:

mount -r /dev/sr0 /cdrom

This caused repeated overflow messages, and the drive never mounted.  Is there
a mount option such as rsize that I need to use because of different buffer
sizes? Thanks for the help.
