My DVD/CD burning app, k3b, uses it for the CD/DVD drives. It works. From my understanding this switched quite some time ago but can't recall the reasoning behind it. I don't have /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd anymore. Everything so far has worked tho. It just uses /dev/sr0 instead. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
