Thanks to Adir and Oleg for answering. Before I answer their questions, let me just say that while waiting for answers from the list, I decided not to re-boot. I **hate** writing this sentence, but for some unknown reason, the drive stared working again. I have no explanation. I use the same media, speed, and other paramaters as always.
BTW - I followed a couple of threads about a similar problems (found by GOOGLE), but I still don't know what caused the problem. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it happens again.

I included the error messages from the "eject" command in my previous post. I didn't try reading a CD since ejecting and writing didn't work, that didn't occur to me.

After re-booting (last week), I was able to burn CDs. >> My guess is that there's something going wrong with the SCSI >> emulation, >Unlikely. It used to work, right?

I agree it doesn't sound likely, but I'm using the same CDRWs I've always used. I did try at a slower speed - same result. //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 22-Sep-2002 Time: 17:44:29 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 8.1 machine //------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
