Thank you all for your ideas. With various suggestions, I found a variation of the CDRomSample code that seems to work well. The sample does reads on the BSN Name of the device root (i.e. /dev/rdisk#). I have found that if I dig a little deeper into the IORegistry for the device (i.e. /dev/rdisk#s0), the code works.

If there were a simple way to get around the AV SW, then malware would be able to use it to get around the AV SW, thus nullifying the AV SW. -- GG _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
