I seem to recall a program in Linux that would obtain it, but I don't remember. > You'd be surprised how hard it is to get that info :-) I got it off the back of the box. I was going to OCR it, but reordering the unformatted lines, it was faster to just type the stuff in. It's the computer way, doncha know (computer recipe too hard, resort to chisel and stone tablet). ******* On one occasion, I wanted to know what software was bundled with a particular DVD drive. I had to drive to the store and read the box, because no web site had the information, and only limited pictures of the box were available. The manufacturer web site did *not* have the information. ******* There was a Nero Infotool that used to give some info. There might have been a second tool like that, but it has been quite a while since the topic has come up. There is a picture of Nero Infotool here. It was actually written by an independent dev outside Nero and bundled as freeware. You could download it off the Nero FTP site, at least for a while, gratis. https://whatsoftware.com/do-you-know-your-cd-or-dvd-drive-burning-capabilities/ Apparently IMGBurn has a Device Capabilities pane. I don't really know where that information is stored, and how you access it. It appears that not ever dev is a success at a job like this. It takes multiple attempts and quite a bit of work, to get your tool to output the same info as the other tools. It's almost as hard as writing a "listdir.exe" for NTFS :-) Which is a bastard. Paul
