Hey all:
I have an optical disk drive (Pinnacle Micro). I don't know
a lot about it, except that it is a SCSI device. I've been
trying to copy information from the 1.2 GB optical disks
that we have in my lab, but quite a number of them cannot
be read on a Windows 2000 machine, which makes me suspect
that there is not a FAT, VFAT, or NTFS type file system.
Questions:
Is it possible that this device could
have been connected to an HP Apollo machine which was
running HP-UX?
If yes, what kind of filesystem type would it have
used, and is that filesystem supported by a NetBSD installation
on an HP425t? (I have 1.53 or 1.6 installed on one right now).
If not NetBSD, then any other OS? I have access to machines
running Linux (Sparc and i386) and I could install OpenBSD
on the hp425t (I think) or NetBSD on an i386.
Any information about this situation would be helpful.
