For what its worth, I understand that these changes are being made to help make floppy drives and cdroms more hotpluggable -> ie more Win/Mac like, where you don't need to sync/unmount/eject the drives when you have finished. It is also to treat them more like usb removable storage devices. The changes seem to be improving ease of use... -- Rishi Viner -------------- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
