Okay SCSI Experts ! I wonder if any of you gurus out there know anything about the RICOH 5030e optical disk. Basically, I've obtained this device but there are a few things I don't know. Firstly, what type of optical disk does it use ? Is it WORM or is Rewriteable-Optical (MO) ? I think its capacity may be 400MB per side, but I'm not sure. However, I do know it's 1024 byte sectors though. Secondly, does anybody know how many sectors per cylinder and how many cylinders etc. I'll need to put in my mountlist ? Hope someone out there can help, I'd be well grateful Thanks Steve Gardiner – Sipping afternoon tea in London
