The wd driver couldn't probe this cdrom but was easy to fix.) Somehow, this reminds me of the punchline in one of the scenes from the Monty Python influenced movie "Eric the Viking". Those who have seen it will probably smile when I say: "Now all the ones with beards are in the same side of the boat". Bruce, the resons you cite, are not arguments to keep the wd driver around for a release which will not happen for another 12 months, it is an argument for us to get you some more recent hardware. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
