But when I try the hdparm command on hdc or scd0, all I get is: /dev/hdc (or /dev/scd0) not supported by hdparm.
Sorry, I'm apparently a bonehead so I'm replying to myself. Grrrr... When hdparm worked on hdd (a plain cdrom drive) but not hdc (the CD-RW/DVD combo), I finally went in and did an ls -l on /dev. Somewhere along the line, I managed to turn /dev/hdc into a link to /dev/scd0! That explains why hdparm wouldn't work, at least. Now the big question: How do I restore /dev/hdc back to the actual device it is, rather than the link to scd0 it has become? *sigh* Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
