Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers I agree. There was some talk, early in the discussions about adding native(?), CDROM device access to the MP3000 console, or other MP class hardware. But nothing really came out of it. I seem to recall seeing an original vide-disc sized disc drive, usually called an optical disc drive, that could be accessed by pre-S/390 based hardware, through the OMA type access arrangements, but again nothing came out of it. This was at a previous consulting job. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
