The CD drive reports itself as CD-224E 9.9A and looks like the OEM
drive.

Teac, or was it as reticent/vague-about-details as you?

I can't really tell easily. The faceplate matches the battleship-gray box of
the DS10. The drive is in a cage (with two other drives) which I don't see how
to remove, and I can't see any details on the CD. I'm way more of a software
person than a hardware person.

Around here, ">>>SHOW DEVICE" reveals things like the maker:

dqa0.0.0.107.0 DQA0 SONY DVD RW AW-Q170A 1.73


When I said it reported itself as CD-224E 9.9A, I meant that's what was in the
string on >>> SHOW DEVICE.

Maybe this means the CD is messed up.


I'll see if someone around here has a SCSI drive.

Or break up an old PC and extract its IDE drive. It's just that if
you have one, an external drive can be easier to attach.


That's probably at the limit of my hardware skills.
