I have found that this package seems to be empty on other machines that have
been upgraded to 3.0 thus causing the error.  However, it exists on the 3.0
CD-ROM, I think in the /NextCD directory.  So erase
/NextLibrary/Packages/ThirdParty to avoid future confusion (after looking
inside the package to verify that it's empty :-)

This package contains only the Sybase client library and related stuff.  To run
Sybase, a second package, Sybase_SQL_Server-limited.pkg (or the unlimited
version) must be available.  This was distributed with NeXTSTEP 1.0 with a free
upgrade to a NS 2.0 version (which works fine under 3.0).

If you don't have the server package, then you must license it from Sybase.
The limited (~5 simultaneous client-server connections maximum) version used to
sell for around $600.

I'm looking at a November 1992 NeXT price list (from NeXT, of course), and  
I see that NeXT is selling the Sybase Limited SQL Server (part number  
N5521) for $1995 list.

Must not be bundled any more.

Hi.

I'm wondering if anyone has run across this problem before.  I've installed
my CD-rom drive just fine but I keep getting console messages of the following
nature:

sd2 (4,0): ERROR op:0x2a sd_state:4 scsi status:0x0

sd2 (4,0): sense key:0x5  additional sense code:0x20

    SCSI Block in error = 0 (front porch)


If anyone knows the reason or a solution to this problem I'd appreciate
it if they would drop me a line.

Please respond by email.
