su-2.02# mount /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Invalid argument
su-2.02# ls -l /dev/wcd0*

/dev/wcd0c does exist. The unit is certainly an ATAPI one
that, as I said, used to be mountable in this machine at least
under 2.2.1R, and maybe also under the current 2.2.7R early
this month. What I mean is that it stopped being mountable, but
I cannot relate it to anything I might have done to the system.
And the CD inside is one of the 4 CDROMs package that came with
Greg's book. Ok, ok, it was not that obvious.

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <V006E0DS/6V001-2.>, removable, iordy
wcd0: 1033/61767Kb/sec, 58864Kb cache, audio play, 30921 volume levels,
ejectable caddy
wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked
(there was really no disc inside at boot time )
Ditto. dmesg looks hypernice to me also. Though, now that
I think of it, 58864Kb cache looks a bit out of this world ?
