In the next couple of days I will be trying to install Linux
(probably Caldera) on my new Gateway P5-120. It has one of
those troublesome Sanyo Torisan 3disk CD-ROM readers. I'm
certain that this will cause problems since I'm already stuck
in trying to install OS/2. If you happen to know of any
special drivers for Linux installation please send me Email.
As a sidebar if anyone knows of driver requirements for OS/2,
NT and Win95 I'd appreciate some info on that too. Yes, I'm
trying to load a bunch of Operating Systems on this machine!

Thanks.

So far, only one of the three pseudo-cd's is recognized, as /dev/hdc (the
lowest drive, f: in dos)
I have been trying to get the others to work, but there is no problem with
recognizing one.

I just read on some web page that the OS/2 Drivers arent yet finished,
however that may not be true currently. 2 days ago however I installed a 1.2
Gig HD onto my(I like your taste by the way)new P5 120, so that I would have
ample room to run Linux. I purchased a 4CD set from INFOMAGIC. This is my first
time ever running Linux, but from what ive read on the net youll be able to get
just the bottom tray of your 3disk changer to work, so in essence it will be a
normal quad speed cd rom.

What commands did you use to get your P5 to recognize that one
drive under linux. I still have been unable to get it to work. Your
help would be appreciated. Thank you.
