I got a problem from the Optical Disk Driver- It started not working at all. When I insert an optical disk after selecting 'mount' menu(the system has s/w release 1.0), the system eats it up. When I tried to initialize an optical disk, the following messages it gave; (from system) Please insert new disk for volume 0 (Press 'n' key if disk is not available) (I inserted disk) (then system sent out this message;) od0?: driver command failed(busy timeout #1) block 0 phys block 67614344 (4230045:0:8) (system stucked here and I had to use command-tilde to exit this stuck) The hard disk works very fine. I appreciate it if someone there could give me some help to get around this problem. Thank you in advance. Dong-Lok Kim ICSL Dept. of EE Univ. of Washington TEL) 206-543-1017

Rather nasty dust problem, because it appears to kill the OD completely for all future accesses. I wonder if you bought one of the earlier cubes, where the fac sucks the wrong way. /ivo
