It was LG. The model was an IDE cdrom drive that wasn't supposed to implement the command in question. I think it was the flush command which is apparently only used by cd-r(w) drives. The drive implemented this as "flush firmware". pretty funny story if you think of it. :-) greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
