: I'm told that accessing 2 CDs simultaneously is also : very hard on the drive mechanisms. If you hear the : drive making grinding noises during rapid CD changes : you'll know what they mean. Rich I have a couple of friends who have these things on their Linux boxes, and have hung the drive a few times by doing a simultaneous ls -R on two mounted disks, or diff -r on two different disks. The sounds are horrible, so it is no wonder that it is hard on the mechanism... Warner
