So I'm up and cooking on that nice Fuji drive and I'm not using the optical for much more than archiving. My pal Steve comes over for a copy of Tetris et. al. I mount my optical and move the file to the hard drive, then do the unmount. When I insert Steve's disk, the little window comes up and asks me to insert my disk. I do, and the optical drive begins making a NEW noise that chilleth me to the bone. A little "Znert" that happens about once ever 20 or 30 seconds. In the meanwhile, all is frozen....mouse, dialog, etc. The machine doesn't even respond to summoning the monitor with [whateverwhateverTilde]. I'm feeling this faint whiff of apprehension and doom. So I power down and try it again. The drive will no longer take ANYTHING whatsoever without this behaviour. This is a Texan BusinessLand drive, and I'm just wondering if any of you have seen/heard this one before. If so, is there something I can check in addition to looking into what I've got to do to get it fixed [I'm obviously dispirited about shipping it back to Texas for Heaven Knows how long]. Oh yes....where is the documented workaround for LISP in 2.0/on in ftp land? Terribly Depressed in the MidWessed.
