Lines: 25 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: pepper.ncd.com Xref: cdrom.com comp.sys.mac.hardware:17933 alt.cd-rom:4393 comp.sys.dec:2705 comp.unix.ultrix:1482 I have a DECstation 5000/25 running Ultrix 4.2A. I'm trying to get it to play audio disks using the WorkMan program which is available on the net. I'm able to mount CD-ROMs on the Ultrix machine (it recognizes the Apple CD300 as an RRD42 at bootup). When I try to use WorkMan to play a disk, it reports the correct number of tracks (but with the wrong track times), notices when a disk is loaded, and can eject a disk. When I tell it to play, though, nothing happens. I can't tell if it's even accessing the disk, since the CD300 seems to spin the disk all the time. It doesn't report any sort of error message, unfortunately, so I'm completely clueless as to what's going on. Has anybody else out there gotten a similar configuration to work? Any hints that you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks! _MelloN_ -- mellon@ncd.com uunet!lupine!mellon Member of the League for Programming Freedom.
