Did you have any further insight on this slowdown issue? I've been off email for a little while (quota full, disastrous HDD + OS upgrade - during which (amongst other problems!), I blew up one HDD caddy and my laptop's optical drive gave up - permanently after I tried to manually tweak the laser powers!) You'll probably know how nasty CD drive laser power adjustments are, and that it was a desperate thing to try. I think I tweaked them more than I imagined, and have now lost the ability to get back to where I started.. The drive does different things depending on how I set the power, but I've not got it working again! Still, at £20 for a Sony / Optiarc replacement, it wasn't such a disaster, just a setback. Why I buy Sony though, I don't know (other than the original OEM drive was Optiarc), as I generally detest Sony hardware. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
