Hi OSF managers,
Need some help.  I have an external CD-ROM drive which is recognized as rz5* 
(a, b, c,d, e,f,g,h).  When I try to do a newfs, I get an error message:

#newfs /dev/rz5c
/dev/rrz5c: I/O error

Does this mean that something wrong with the CDROM drive?
Here is the environment:
CDROM:   RRD43  form dec
machine:  alpha/axp 3000 300x
OSF/1 :    ver 3.0

any help is highly appreciated;
Thanks
M.T.
