I'm referring to the one in their Solo > laptops. No, Eric has a Solo too; the CDrom in it is very similar to the one that works in my Sharp laptop. As far as I can guess then, the problem is most likely to be that the Solo has the CDrom as the slave on the first controller, and the ATAPI probe isn't good enough to find it. I'm not sufficiently clued (or in posession of a unit to test with even if I was) to help much more here. 8( > --Brett -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
