Lucky! While working on some other ATA-related code on a test/dev box I just built about 30 minutes ago, I decided to do "atacontrol list" to see what would happen: testbox# atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 <ST3120026AS/3.05> Serial ATA v1.0 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: acd0 <CD-224E/1.9A> ATA/ATAPI revision 0 Slave: no device present atacontrol: ioctl(IOCATADEVICES): Device not configured testbox# This box I have physical + serial access to, so I should be able to try and track this down, now that I have something to work with. :-) I'll let you guys know what I find. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
