Have considered moving the LED to the drive itself, but I like to see when all hell breaks loose on my IDE bus. I currently have a situation where something in the ATAPI driver bugs my CD-ROM to the point of not behaving. I get "atapi (something) controller not ready" messages. Sorry, I don't keep it running long after that. -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail <kirbyk@email.uah.edu> UAH CS <kkirby@cs.uah.edu> Home <kris@airnet.net> WWW <nomurphy@hotmail.com> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD...
