Hello All,
Does anybody has experience if Solaris 2.4 for x86 supports IDE CDROM?
Because I cannot mount the cdrom on my system, and I found from Device
Configuration Manual that it just supports SCSI.

Yes, IDE CDROM drives are supported as long as they are ATAPI-2 compliant.
Here is what's been tested by SunSoft:

Note 1: Various CD-ROM players may not be fully SCSI-compliant in their
handling of the CDROMREADHEADER command. This may cause failures
from vold not mounting an eligible CD-ROM. The workaround is to
mount the CD-ROM manually.
Note 2: Early versions of NEC firmware were not fully SCSI-compliant;
thus, these drives may only work if synchronous negotiation
and disconnect are disabled on the SCSI adapter used with the
CD-ROM drive, or if the drive is jumpered to use scsi-1 commands,
as appropriate.
Note 3: Only the first CD-ROM in the Pioneer DRM-604X CD-ROM changer
is supported by default.
Note 4: This drive does not work with the Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI HBA.
Note 5: Must have BIOS 1.0 or later.

By the way, how about MR_BIOS?
I couldn't find it on the sun list.
Does anyone have the experience with MR_BIOS?

: Hi, does Toshiba 6X on the list or not?
You don't give the model # for the Toshiba.
Here is the March 1996 HCL. You will need DU2 for one's marked '*'.

Hi, there is no Toshiba 6X listed on the HCL
But MR_BIOS did fint it as XM-5302B.
By the way, can I use MR_BIOS instead award on the ASUS SP55TPN?
