Hello all, I'm not sure that info is of any value, but I've resolved my CD problems with following change in atapi.c (atapi_wait() function): 397c397 < if (cnt <= 0 && (s != 0xff)) --- > if (cnt <= 0) I have GoldStar 542B & 2.1.5R and there were big problems with its recognition while booting. Fast investigation showed that the hellish device returned 0xff byte instead of unsetting BUSY bit while probing, so not being any kind of ATAPI expert I used the above dirty hack. After that I have one extra message "unknown phase" at console but all problems flied away. Regards, Yuri. P.S. CD worked well under OS/2 & DOS.
