Another silly question...
 

I do know the answer, but can't find it, in my brain or on the forum....

How do I find out the model specs on my dvd/cdrom? I know it's something like 'lspci'....

(Sorry, people, I've had a long week, and my brain is dead..)

try this

hdparm -i /dev/hdc(or whatever your drive is)

Thank you. I never even thought of hdparm.

I am in your debt...

you could add the '-I' switch to that too and do or 'cd /proc/ide/hdc (or whatever your cdrom is) and cat around.

Right click on the my computer icon on your desktop, then hit properties, now click on the devices tab.......oops wrong forum.

LOL you're not the only one who is without brain at times :D

hahaha so funny :D
