Heh. You're not looking at it from the right corner of the Toshiba
Universe. The 2595XDVD is a laptop, not a DVDROM drive, although it
has one in it. The fan I want to turn on is the case exhaust fan, a
little muffin about an inch square. Apparently, under MICROS~1, this
thing comes on automagically, when temps get too high. Possibly an APM
controlable doo-hickey, but I can't find anything about it. Major PITA.
Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated
