thanks, russ. i'm not sure why 9660srv without the -9 flag will lowercase all the files on a cd made with -9j and not -9cj. with the -9 flag, things aren't perfect, either, because the ':'s get dropped. are these bugs in 9660srv, or do i misunderstand the situation? (i do now realize that in any event the -c flag is preferable.) do you know if there is any other information on devsd than the manual pages? in writing up the ata raw command stuff, i realized that there are some small differences between the manual pages and how it is actually used. the raw file is documented as taking raw commands for the device, but in practice they have been scsi cdbs. combined sas/sata controllers kind of beg that question. hope that stuff didn't make you want to gouge your eyes out. - erik
