I was mis-reading the "DISCFREE" listing -- I re-did it with option "C" and  
I find that the new ldev 2 is 99% free.  

This "new" disc drive is actually just a replacement for the original ldev  2 
that got whacked quite some time ago.
 
So there really isn't a problem with that -- 
 
However, as I have discovered I *do* have a more serious problem with  this 
replacement drive --
 
After powering down my box and powering it back up again and rebooting --  
the system doesn't recognize ldev 2. The message I get is "Ldev 2  configured, 
not available."
Because of this, I get a ton of error messages on the console and ldev 2 is  
loaded as a "LONER."
 
So then I reboot again, the system comes up, recognizes ldev 2 and  
everything is ok......
 
This is more of a pain in the u-know-what than a disaster..........
 
That'll teach me for buying a cheapo drive off e-bay rather than buying it  
from a reputable 3rd
party vendor.
 
Anyone have a clue as to why the drive is not recognized by the system  first 
time up...?
 
Brian.
