Uh, 'scuse me, but why not copy the contents of

This worked for me while the Teac driver was still in development.
Good luck, and ymmv.

For various reasons, none of them good, I have several "distributions"
of Linux.

The Sanyo 3-CD changer CD-ROM is _supposed_ to look like a normal
ATAPI CD-ROM for the bottom platter.

This is the case for TransAmeritech and Linux Universe (from "The
Complete Linux Kit" by Strobel and Uhl). However, Slackware itself
(and I assume that Yggdrasil's Fall 95 distribution is mostly
Slackware) doesn't seem to see the drive.

I don't quite understand this, since none of the distributions
I have claim special modifications for the Sanyo.

Cause I have no other partitions which linux can access (everthing I
have is compressed with Stacker 4.0 which I have not been able to get

need a new drive but I have no spare cash).
