Folks,

I just interrupted a write to a CD/RW and now the cd drive
does not respond apart from

$ cdcontrol -f /dev/acd1c eject
acd1: PREVENT_ALLOW - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=2c ascq=00 error=00
acd1: READ_TOC - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=2c ascq=00 error=00
acd1: PREVENT_ALLOW - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=2c ascq=00 error=00
acd1: START_STOP - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=2c ascq=00 error=00
acd1: PREVENT_ALLOW - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=2c ascq=00 error=00

any ideas how I can reset the drive without re-booting?

Cheers, Roger
