I've had this PC box running BSDI for over a year now, never any problems. And now I want to upgrade the software and I can't get the CD-ROM drive to open up (eject?) so that I can put the disk in. Is there a special UNIX command to get it to open up and swallow...or do I just have a bum CD-ROM device. I've never had to use it since new...so I don't know if it's broken or if I need to issue a command. Anyone know, please e-mail me. -- =========================================================== Jeff Field e-mail: jfield@555-1212.com 555-1212.com phone: 510-299-1222 ext. 100 http://www.555-1212.com fax: 510-299-0444 ===========================================================
