Why are you especially interested in that ?? uh, why not? it's kinda bad when i run some cdplayer and hit the manual eject or somehow confuse the lame atapi cd-drive and then i have to reboot to use it again. (all processes trying to do anything with it lock in disk activity if i remeber correctly) the problem is in the atapi driver, a call to "reset" mearly sleeps on the atapi device "becoming ready" there is no code to actually reset the device. since i barely understand atapi and i couldn't find any place where the driver actually does a HARD reset i don't know how to actually reset it. perhaps a hard reset on the IDE bus... but that sounds icky. -Alfred -- Programmer @ HotJobs Inc.
