The HP6020i (and quite an incident, the Philips CDD2660 that incidentally appeared around the same time :) react allergically against the START STOP UNIT (start = 0, i.e. stop) command given in the default wormclose() handling. After this, they require an explicit START STOP UNIT (start = 1). The 4020i/CDD2000 didn't bother about this. I think stopping the drive inside wormclose() should go away; that's the reason for why i didn't commit the previously posted patch yet. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
