Strange. If you read data from the harddisk on an IDE channel and write it (with cdrecord) to some CDRW on the same IDE channel, you have to expect trouble: As with IDE there is no disconnect from the bus (as opposed to SCSI), you risk buffer underruns. A lockup however is not to be expected :-( Regards, -- Kurt Garloff Eindhoven, NL GPG key: See mail header, key servers Linux kernel development SuSE GmbH, Nuernberg, FRG SCSI, Security
