This would also let Linux people tell UAE to access devices via the new 2.6 ATA Packet Interface stuff, etc. I'm not sure about the disk ejecting bit. I suppose it's possible. Although if you can't get a handle on the device because Finder won't share, it might not be. I'll have to investigate . . . BTW, the OS X version of XCDRoast solves the problem by killing the automount daemon. From: http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/xcdrosX.html Quote: Finder grabs all CDs. The finder tends to automount all CDs you insert. Then they are lost from being accessable from within X-CD-Roast. Currently the only known solution is to stop the "diskarbitrationd" daemon. (You may remember that in MacOS 10.2 (Jaguar) a simular daemon was called "autodiskmount".) This version supports the automatic handling of the daemon. You just choose the option to disable the daemon at startup and X-CD-Roast will handle that for you. Here is the procedure if you want to know what X-CD-Roast is doing: X-CD-Roast stops the daemon like this: ps -ax |fgrep diskarbitrationd (The first number in that output is the pid) sudo kill -STOP <pid> After you are done with X-CD-Roast it is started again: sudo kill -CONT <pid> Note: While the autodiskmount daemon is stopped you might not be able to eject media with the keyboard. Just use the eject feature from X-CD-Roast. I also noticed that the system may become unstable when this daemon is not running. Please don't run anything important while X-CD-Roast is open! I am working on finding a more stable solution. End quote. Anybody out there with more knowledge of OS X than me (that'll probably be most of you ;-) care to comment on what they think is a better solution? Cheers, Rich
