Dear sir, I have a NOVELL NetWare 3.1 network connecting some PC's (DOS). I intend to buy a SPARC 10 compatible (UNIX) station. I want to use the same CD-ROM for both workstations ( SPARC & PC). a. Is it possible to use the same CD-ROM device for DOS and UNIX discs ? b. Do you know whether the CD-ROM is accessible from a PC DOS workstation through the Netware ? c. If the answer to one of the above questions is yes, Will any CD-ROM in the market do ? Do I need to order special software or hardware ?
