Hi, A couple weeks ago my NeXT when down :( and corrupted my netinfo database and wiped out some files. I rebuilt the netinfo database using niload, and now most everything seems to work. However, when I try to view a DOS disk under a "me" account I get the message "Floppy disk is unreadable". This does not happen if I,m logged on as ROOT. Furthermore, I'am able as a "me" user to use BuildDOS to format the disk; after which I get the above mentioned message. Now I 've check the permissions in the dev directory and they seem to be O.K. Also, I should mention that in /usr/filesystems the directory DOS.fs exist. The second problem I have, which might possibly be related, is that I can't get my NeXT to mount the CDROM filesystem. I have no other devices connected to my NeXT other than the CD player. When I place a SUN CD in the drive the message "External disk is unreadable" comes up and on pressing the ignore button the disk ejected. The same thing happens if I place a music disk in. I've also tried the CDplayer.app from sonata, with no success. The OS version I have is 2.1. Any help would be appreciated. thanx Peter Lenson P.S my mail is still a little buggy so if you wish to email me send non NeXT mail to a05@seis.gp.uwo.ca
