I have a PD drive which can be used as 24x CD-ROM drive , however,
MEGA-SCSI don't see this drive. I don't know SCSI protocols very well
but I think may be LUN (Logical Unit Number) problem.
Everybody knows about SCSI's ID, right? But anyone knows more details
about LUN and how configure it in Mega-SCSI?
I wish to test my PD drive as CDROM to play EVA (I have a TR).
Since the disc never stops in the drive (only when you will eject it the
PD drive stop the disc) I think it has a low acess time.
By the way, PD on PC is fast, very fast in comparisson with every
"normal" CDROM which I have seen.
(I compared a PD drive as 24x CDROM with a "normal" 30x CDROM)
