Grab your Phillips, it's... The Latest from The Screwdriver List! First off, I've just returned from a week in beautiful San Diego for a conference -- it actually rained one day, but the rest were all bright sunshine and 75 degrees -- so a belated congratulations to Mike Insch, who correctly identified several of the improvements made to the Pentium 4 and won himself yet another List Guru Trivia award! Now for a hardware question that I haven't run into before: a reader has just updated the BIOS on her Athlon T-Bird motherboard, and although everything seemed to work correctly, her CD-ROM drive is now SNAFU. The drive is getting power and it will eject, but when you insert a disc it simply sits dormant for a few seconds and then ejects the disc again. I had her check Device Manager, where the drive shows up correctly, and even had her delete the drive and reboot, but no luck. The drive was working perfectly before the BIOS update... but flashing back to the old BIOS (which she wisely kept) still doesn't fix the problem! Has anyone run into this?
