Yes, actually the stupid thing skips whenever I eject a floppy while the CD is spinning. On the other hand, we've a bunch of FX-810S and every one of them works fine with FreeBSD with no hassles. I haven't had that much luck with the other junk we buy at work -- Acer and USDrive, for instance. Philips and Panasonic seem to do OK, as do the Mitsumi CDs. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters Softweyr LLC http://www.xmission.com/~softweyr softweyr@xmission.com
