[OT] cdrom speed adjustment

["E.L. Meijer \(Eric\)" <tgakem@sg10.chem.tue.nl>]

Hi all,

I know someone who has a windows program that limits the speed of his
cdrom drive.  Is there a way to do this in linux?  Although it is a
nice idea that my ide/atapi drive can do 36-speed, it sounds like a
hoovercraft taking off when it runs that fast, and for most
applications 8-speed or something like that would be plenty.  It also
seems to me that it actually takes a lot of time to get upto speed, so
that it sometimes _feels_ slower than the trusty old double-speed drive
I used to have in my old 486.

Eric
