Er, ahem, dumb question time from the physician who mungs Unix well:

I'm in the process of hooking up a CD-ROM drive to upgrade to NS3.0.
I just interrogated the SCSI bus using SCSIInquirer on my upgraded
68040 cube.  The targets that showed up were:

SCSI #0  No device
SCSI #1  MAXTOR XT-8760S
SCSI #2  No device
SCSI #3  No device
SCSI #4  PLI Super Floppy
SCSI #5  No device
SCSI #6  No device
SCSI #7  CPU Processor

Now, I'm a little confused here because the optical drive didn't show
up during the inquiry.  I'm running it as root, but still no luck.  Any
thoughts (because there wasn't any change when I popped in an OD and 
re-interrogated the bus) on this.  I know I'll have to terminate the
CD-ROM on the bus due to the cabling setup I have.

As for the issue of playing audio CD's, well that will have to wait for
later.  The CD-ROM is a loaner from Abacus R&D so I can test Executor
a Macintosh version of ProCite for a grant I'm working on down here
at Duke.  More on that later.  [Yeah, yeah, I was one of those lucky
guys who got his CD-ROM disk and cable, but no drive].

Peace
