Re: [cbm4linux-users] Hi (xm1541)

[<ke...@fr...>]

Thanks I am working on the KIO slave(I hope to post it here soon).

because the drive spins I first tried to insmod the cbm module
but that wasn't such a good idea, it looks like once the module
has been initialised once it won't redectect the cable type
so rmmod cbm and insmod cbm doen't do the job.
I have to reboot
set the drive on
and load the modules
I haven't tried yet to specify the cable type by hand

it's not a real problem.. you just have to know
