Hmmm...  That doesn't seem to work for me:

  davidtg@hussy:~> ls -lF /dev/sr0
  brw-------    1 davidtg  disk      11,   0 Sep  9  2002 /dev/sr0
  davidtg@hussy:~> hdparm /dev/sr0
  /dev/sr0 not supported by hdparm
  davidtg@hussy:~> sudo hdparm /dev/sr0
  /dev/sr0 not supported by hdparm

Maybe because this is a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive instead of a hard disk?


Thanks & TIA & HAND

:-D
