Two hints, perhaps they help |
| 13 |
- "hdparm -i $DEVICE" will display what the device can support |
| 14 |
- I would run hdparm on the physical device file, that is /dev/hdc, not on |
| 15 |
the cdrom-link. |

It sounds like a plain old ATAPI drive, so should work with the generic |

stuff. No specific knowledge about your drive, though. |
