Package: hardinfo
Version: 0.4.2.3-1
Severity: minor

For example:

    Model CD-RW 52x24
    ...
    Driver Generic mmc CD-RW
    ...
    Speeds
    Maximum read speed  9173kBs/s (CD 52x, DVD 6x)

Perhaps that's just a translation of CD throughput speeds (150kB/s=CD 1x) to DVD
speeds (1350kB/s=DVD 1x), but it looks as much as if to imply that a CDRW drive
could somehow read DVD media.  

And that arithmetic is a bit fuzzy:

    CD  52x =  150kB x 52 = 7800kB/s < DVD 6x
    DVD  6x = 1350kB x  6 = 8100kB/s = CD 54x


Suggested remedy:  show DVD speeds only for DVD drives, or make it optional for
those who prefer it.

Hope this helps...
