The Sony-branded cdrom does : not have this effect on my machine. Is this a quirk of the drive : or of the atapifd attachment? Don't know. I do know that my cdrom doesn't have the problem. You might try config 0x2 and see if that works differently. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
