It kind of works in that it will eject the disk and it can read the calendar display if you give it the d command. When it does try to play, the drive runs at its top speed and I get an IOCTL error indicating an end of track but not so much as a pop from the headphone jack on the front of the drive. The presence of the jack and a volume control tells me that the drive is capable of playing a CD, but it isn't getting the message to do so. The calendar display is simply an accumulated listing of each cut on the disk and the elapsed time up to that track so it isn't like there is no communication at all. It just isn't playing. Are there any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Are there any similar applications that might work better? What I installed was cdtool-2.1.5 Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Center for Computing and Information Services Network Operations Group
