I was under the impression that most modern CDROMs can be mounted vertically. Look on the tray for little flanges on the outer rim where the disc sits - these flanges (normally four around the tray) hold the CD in. As another poster mentioned though - Pioneer make the slot loading drives..I've got one that i've had for years and it still runs flawlessly. Sexier than a tray :) A swap is probably not practical though - my location is somewhat out of the way. -- Ben Buxton - Random Network Person -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
