I confess it was a tad awkward (compared to my recollection of previous behavior), but it's a lot better than rebooting to swap devices, that's for sure. :-) >Windows on the same machine requires you to suspend before swapping >things. Ah; I wouldn't have had a way to be aware of that (absent someone mentioning it, as you did): thanks. It could (possibly) have been a real difference between the machines, too, since I'm now using a "real" i5000e, while before, I was using a "similar" machine. And I guess I just "got lucky" with the DVD drive. :-} Thanks, david (links to my resume at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david) -- David H.
