Hello All, I'm trying to burn a CD on a Windows machine that I can then read on a SCO Unix box (SCO OpenServer Release 5, installed on a Compaq Proliant 800 Server). Any chance that I can do this? Thanks, CoachHog

- 1. Sleep command quitting
Hi, For many years we've used a little workaround to hold a serial port open, to allow us to cat large print jobs to a serial printer. The command is put into /etc/rc.d/8/userdef: (stty 9600 ixon ixoff -ixany ; while : ; do sleep 3600; done) < /dev/ttya1 & It runs fine on bootup, but since OS507 (not sure which MP if any first showed the problem), the sleep command simply stops of its own accord after a time. On all older versions of SCO OS from 500 upwards, this command stays running for as long as the system is up. Any ideas what's causing it to terminate, or another way of doing the same thing? thanks -Rob robatwork at mail dot com - 2. ERROR restoring via DAT drive.
Operating System: SCO 3.2v5.0.5 I have the company server in my office, and, the retired machine at a remote location. From time to time I like to back-up the server in my office and install it on the retired machine just so I know I have a current, working back-up. When I do this, I generaly only back-up my /appl directory, so, here's what I do: In my office (back-up): cd /appl find . -depth -mount -print | cpio -ocv -K1900000 -C10240 -O/dev/rct0 Remote location (restore): cd /appl cpio -iucdvB -I/dev/rct0 This routine has always worked for me in the past. The last two times I have attempted this, it failed. This is the message I get: WARNING: dptr: (0,0,2,0) SCSI command 08 timeout, resetting SCSI bus NOTICE Stp: Error on SCSI tape 0 (ha=0 bus=0 id=2 lun=0) Unit attention: Drive or bus reset cpio: I/O error on read (). I use HS-4/60s maxell cassettes Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance... Frank

Sure.
You may have to use either standard ISO9660 naming scheme (8.3 filenames),
force a broken ISO9660 (can use up to 32 characters for filenames), or use
a RockRidge format disk to get the names to read right.
Under Linux, using 'mkisofs', I use the following options:
-d -l -r -T
These translate as:
-d don't force trailing periods
-l use 32 character filenames
-r use a RockRidge format
-T generate a TRANS.TBL
The last is for systems that don't understand RockRidge (not sure of any).
In your Windows burning software (using Nero? Adaptec CD Writer?), you
should have options to force the disk into given formats (FAT, Joliet+Fat,
RockRidge), select the right one. After that, you should be fine.
Hope this helps you.

In article <Ljxyb.375392$Fm2.391012@attbi_s04>, You didn't mention your burning software but I have used both the Easy CD Creator from Roxio/Adaptec and Nero - and they both have ISO format capability. It will be an option somewhere on the menus. I use that on all my disc so I can move transparently between MS/Mac/Unix. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com

Hi,
not sure if this is an issue any more (anyone? ) but on older
versions of SCO I've seen problems with CDs where I've written to them
once, not closed off the disk, then gone back later to add more
files/remove old files from the layout. What happened was that the
layout changes were not apparent on SCO (old layout) whereas Windows
could still read the new files and not the old ones.
I've seen this on a P200, but not sure of the SCO version (it was
version 5.0.x though...). It's worth keeping in mind though in case you
ever destroy CD layouts by accident...

2.Linux-Mdk compatible External USB CD-RW?
Hi, I am thinking a getting an external USB CD-RW: the I/O Magic 52x24x52x External USB 2.0 CD-RW Drive (at Radio Shack for $99.99+tax). I checked with the Mandrake hardware compatibility list, but did not find it there. Does anyone have experience with this drive under Mandrake 9.1 nad 9.2? Alternatively, Could anyone please reccommend a good Mdk9.2 compatible external CD-RW? Many thanks!
3.linux compatible usb cd writer
Hi there, I am under the impression that I am getting nowhere with the used HP cdwriter 8200 that I just bought. Even though I added an extra power module, I still got error in my attempts to burn cd, and, besides, the CDs keep spinning at variable speeds. I don't know what else to get that will be Linux compatible. On the site linuxcompatible.org, I saw nothing else than the HP 8200 that was being ackowledged as compatible... but the site may not be up to date. there is no way that I can find a new HP 8200 anywhere, at least in here. However, I have found an ASUS external usb cdwriter Is there anyone who would know that writer ? How about Linux compatibility ? I have USB 1.1 on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10
