This is kind of complex configuration.

Pcmcia > usb 2 > ide > dvd 5.25 drive.

I write cd, dvd but I cannot spin down (lower speed) the device
in reading.

Compiled setcd-1.5 from debian, I get info from the drive,
but still is in fast mode.

I also have sdparm, suppose that hdparm is useless in usb
devices. USB connected devices are treated like scsi, right?

Thank you for the effort.

I confused by this command.

Fist of all, it does not change the speed, second: this command reaad
sectors.

I don't want this, the drive operates with another program so I only
want to change the speed. Unless you suggested to read only 1 sector
to initialize the drive to new speed.

I was wrong. IT'S OK! Thank you.
