I finally took the big step and bought linux at a computer Faire I attended,
with the object of learning what I believe is the future OS. Yet, I'm
totally illiterate when it comes to Linux. I can only base it on the
knowledge I have on DOS.
The Problem
My Mercer 486 DX laptop with 20MB ram is my test machine. Attached to the
PCMCIA slots is 2 CD ROMS. One CD ROM is a TXC compatible double speed CD
ROM (unknown Name brand) using L2 PCMCIA card, the other (a Vision Media) is
attached to a Adaptec -460 Slim SCSI.
I have tried every "driver" to identify and set up ONE of them, yet in vain.
After some research I found that the Adptec -460 is not supported.
So, that leaves me with the other CD ROM. The drivers it uses is the TXCD
driver and another called ARICD. I found that the Aztech "driver" seems to
support the TXC.
The Question
What are the commands I can use in the "Specify options" that I might try to
help me set it up? A default I/O setting was 340 which the Aztech driver
doesn't seem to "Autoprobe".
Additional Info.
I'm using Linux 6.0
Windows 95 is currently running (yet I don't care if it gets deleted)
The TXC CD ROM uses Power through the PCMCIA card.
Please help, I really want to start exploring the world of UNIX.
