Re: efs fs module

Chad,

Can't make any gurantees but..... Do you have any SCSI cdrom drives laying
around? They don't all work, but some do. That would be the easiest fix, if
it works. If you need any help with the IRIX load, I can help you off line.
Besides, us Chads need to stick together.

Regards,
Chad
