Hello all:
Does anybody know how to slow down the reading speed of a dvd-rom (NEC 3540) so that it would not be so noisy? Thanks, IG
NAME hdparm - get/set hard disk parameters SYNOPSIS hdparm [ flags ] [device] .. [..] -E Set cdrom speed. This is NOT necessary for regular opera- tion, as the drive will automatically switch speeds on its own. But if you want to play with it, just supply a speed number after the option, usually a number like 2 or 4. Theo -- Theo v.
