DECstation CD-ROM driver?

There is clearly some misunderstanding here.
The RRD40 is a supported device on the DECstations and VAXstations.
You can obtain Ultrix and VMS CD-ROMs from DEC, and yes you can
even boot from the device.  As a matter of fact, you can get Ultrix or VMS
delivered on CD-ROM.  What you can not do though is read High Seirra or
ISO format CD-ROMs which most everyone else that has a CD-ROM reader
can do.  As I understand it DEC is in the process of correcting this,
but I have no idea when (certainly not in 4.0). 

Hope this helps.
