I don't know what a cabbage dicer is (has it to do with dices?), but if it is guaranteed that cd is a cd, how are the arabican device names (extend for klinzhai, chinese, japanese etc.) supposed to be? There should really kind of *call (maybe IOGETTYPE or so) which can be used to get back a bitmapped set of properties of a given device (bit0= bit1= etc.) I remember, when I wrote a DOS Ramdisk driver, I had to set a 16bit driver flag, too. -mirabilos -- by telnet - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
