The drive works fine. I don't yet have the 2.1.5 CD-ROM, so I can't say whether I can reproduce Bill's problem. If anything was indeed broken, it had to be after June 26, or something in the configuration on the 2.1.5 CD-ROM. I actually have a lab with about 40 of these "ancient" drives, so I have an interest in seeing that they continue to work. You'll recall for a long time that they were the only CD-ROM drive that *would* work under FreeBSD. - Gene Stark
