CD-ROM devices. CD-ROM device support requires V4R4.
As a feature on the 9406 Model 740 and SB1, the #2624 controls up to two media devices
installed in the system unit and one external diskette unit. For 9406 Models 170 and 720, the
MFIOP or base PCI Disk Unit Controller supports the base CD-ROM and one internal tape in
the system unit.
As a feature on a #5072, #5073, or #5044 System Unit Expansion Tower, the #2624 supports
up to three internal tape or CD-ROM devices and one external diskette unit.
The internal tapes that are supported by the #2624 are:
