When we originally purchased LaserROM it was installed as an LDEV on the
HP3000.  It was a little sluggish.  Now it's a device on the Novell
server, and it's fairly fast.

There have been a number of posts in the past about missing
documentation on the MPE/iX LaserROM CD-ROMs. I am working to get a
response from HP about missing documentation - when I do, I will post it
here.
 
I have a question for the group first about the usability of the
LaserROM software. I've been using it for 2 years or so and while the
search function seems to work fine and I have used it often with good
results, the software frequently hangs if I just try to open a document
for reading (for example, the Communicators). I assumed that since I had
a fairly old PC with Win3.1, etc., and that I had never seen any
complaints on HP3000-L, that it was my PC. However, I recently acquired
a 133mhz PC with 16MB RAM, a 1.6GB disk and 6x CD-ROM drive with Win95
pre-installed. You guessed it, HP LaserROM continues to hang in the same
fashion. Has anyone else had the same experience?
