External CD-ROM drive issue - bjames - 04-06-2020
Drive was working fine this morning, now it doesn’t stay closed. If I insert a disk or envelope try to close the rom door without a disk installed it shuts, then opens up. The door will not stay closed. Is there a simple fix or is the drive pooched?

Could be the same problem as what seems to happen to the O2 CD-ROM: https://wiki.irixnet.org/o2#hardware_problems
