    dont know if you didn't send this mail to the list intentionally, but
    thanx for the reply anyway :)

    yes, like I said in my previous mail to this list as well, I DID try
    other DVD players.. all with the same result. Also, the POST never gives
    any error message, as I suppose it should do with broken hardware.

    there are 2 possible solutions in my mind:
    1. ATA driver is still somewhat broken,
    2. There should be a way to adjust the time-out in the authentification
    routine in the ATA driver (if there is any, that is).

    cheers, Fierman
