I have an original 030 cube at home with the Optical Disk Drive. Rebooting the machine after a day or two down, I find that when I insert an optical disk, it loads but does not spin up--nothing happens at all. After a while the following message shows up in /usr/adm/messages: Dec 14 19:18:32 zardoz mach: od0?: drive command failed (not at speed) block 30 phys block -66384 (0:0:0) I tried cleaning the compartment with a Q-tip, and cleaned the laser lens, but it made no difference. I have to shut the machine down entirely to get it to eject the disk; if I remove it via paper clip (the eject hole), I cannot re-insert an OD until I reboot. I know the OD is OK because I checked it on another machine. Before I send it back for repairs ($$$!!!) I thought I would ask if anyone has had this problem and if there are any other things I might try. Thank you very much in advance! -- Douglas Scott (805)893-8352 Center for Computer Music Research and Composition University of California, Santa Barbara Internet: (NeXTMail ok) <doug@foxtrot.ccmrc.ucsb.edu>
