magneto-optical drives

2005-01-28 Thread Sherman, Michael (GE Energy)
Hi all.

I am not sure whether it is the right thread for my kind of question. If it
isn't please let me know where to post it.
I was wondering if any of the people on this list were able to mount and
read (don't need writing) successfully Maxtor magneto-optical drives, or any
magneto-optical drive for that matter. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Michael

It's been at least 10 years since I last seriously used MO drives, these
being SCSI Sony units.  They were treated like any other SCSI removable HD
device, and access to the data required suitable disk partitioning/slicing,
or whatever the OS called it at the time.
