I assumed > (maybe incorrectly) that this applies to all SCSI changers, including CDROMs. Multidisk CDrom's aren't implemented using a seperate changer device - that would make no sense, as you could only change to a new disk after unmounting (and thus unlocking) the current one. Instead, the drive appears as several drives on the same ID but different LUNs. Thus, no seperate changer device, and thus no need for the 'ch' device. > Frank -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
