I have a NeXT cube (040) whose hard disk died recently. We're getting a new
one soon, and I'd like to install release 3 of the OS (which we just got).
The machine is currently working from the optical disk and OS release 2.
Questions:
- The manuals that came with the 3.0 CD talk about "upgrading"
to this version. I'd like to install it on the new drive from
scratch. Any trick to this?
- I don't have a NeXT CD-ROM drive, but I do have a Sun CD-ROM
drive, and Apple one, and a "generic" (currently used on an
SGI), all with SCSI interfaces. Any way to get the machine to
recognize the SCSI device as a CD-ROM? Any specific one I should
use instead of another?
Please respond by email as I do not regularly read these groups. Thank you
very much in advance...
