I have made what may or may not be a worthwhile discovery in reference to this drive. It appears that if the CD-Rom is spun-up, it will mount the drive without a hitch. However, if the drive is not spun up already, it does not mount... instead the 'cdo(aic0:1:0): timed out' message comes up. This is not really consistant.. I don't know how to force the drive to spin up. But if I try to mount the cd and it times out, many times if I re-issue the mount command as soon as I get the prompt back, it will mount. This is not by any means absolutely consistant. But it is the only way I can mount it at all. Could it be that the spin-up scsi command is not being sent? or perhaps that the scsi-subsystem is not tolerant enough with timings to let the cd-rom spin up before erroring? Just fumbling along here and guessing, Jay K.
