Hmm, possible, but I would assume that this would not differ from CD
drive to CD drive (the settings I'm using for the new IDE drive are
exactly the same as I was using for my old CDU31A, well, apart from
the drive names <g>)?

However, thanks for the idea, I'll consider this. Also, as I've posted
elsewhere, I've now found that I can make it work if I mount with the
blocksize option set to 1024, I'm still trying to work out how/why
this makes a difference.

Again, thanks for your input.
