No, it couldn't have gone smoother. Just opened up the case, checked the jumpers (Dell seems to like setting all their ide devices to cable-select rather than master/slave), plugged it in, and rebooted. Mandrake recognized it, and K3B (version 0.11.17) burned to it, with no problems. The biggest problem was removing the years of accumulated dust :^). BTW, the name on the outside of the drive is WriterPlus by RetailPlus (never heard of them before, it's a Walmart special :^). Internally, according to "cdrecord --scanbus", it a 'TOSHIBA ' 'ODD-DVD SD-R5272' '1030'. -- Ron ron dot hunterduvar at shaw dot ca Opinions expressed here are all mine.
