Dear "help hand",
I believe I was not explained myself very well!
I DO HAVE allof the settings properly set, I can do a "cd /cdrom", I can ls
/cdrom -bu I CAN NOT see any files. Is my understanding that hi speed
CD-ROMs do have a special settins to compensate for the internal buffer.
This is the problem I have - any ideas?
