- I have written a Windows program that will software lock CD-ROM drives.
- Requires an ASPI based SCSI host adapter. Keep in mind that turning the
- CD-ROM drive off and then on will then make the media ejectable. I don't
- know of any ftp site that carries the program (SHOWSCSI.EXE) but it's up
- on CompuServe (LIB 1 of IBMHW, WNSCSI.ZIP) as well as the Adaptec BBS
- (WINSCSI.ZIP).
