Sure (although it tells the same even iff a medium's in the drive, but let's ignore this, it's not important). > I have the exact same CD-ROM and the exact same SCSI adapter > (actually, I have both an AHA2940 and an AHA2940UW) and have not > experienced any of the problems you mention. I run FreeBSD 2.2.1R. Interesting. Does this mean that even the audio volume controls (e.g. workman's slider, or the `vol' command in cdcontrol(1)) do work for you? This would mean my XM5701 has broken firmware. I forgot to mention in the other posting that the Toshiba was on the same bus with an Archive Python DAT drive which is known to be rather fragile on the SCSI bus, at least with the ahc driver (but ISTR reported problems with other drivers as well). After a couple of bus device resets for the Toshiba, i was totally unable to work with the tape drive anymore (the driver complained about reconnects with no SCB and other bogus things), so i quickly discarded the Toshiba, and swapped my old Plextor single-speed drive back in. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
