Oh, I forgot to mention it, it is both a CDROM and a HD (I don't know what it means). The CDROM is some kind of proprietary password protection thing. After it was purchased I actually had to go to a MSW-XP box and make that password protection thing off before the first time I used it some eight months back. But it is very fast. 'hdparm -tT' gave this: << [root@mamdo ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1: Timing cached reads: 462 MB in 2.01 seconds = 230.06 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 68 MB in 3.04 seconds = 22.35 MB/sec [root@mamdo ~]# >> -- das http://ddts.randomink.org/ http://ddts.randomink.org/blog/
