Cdrom Reset

[George E Sollish <gsollish%autogear.net@localhost>]

Hi,

Is there a way to unlock or reset a cdrom from the command line?  I have 
an IBM Intellistation with a dvd (dev/cd0) and cdrom (dev/cd1).  If I use 
either the inserted disc is found and read and all is well.  I can even 
eject the disc in software, that is, from within xmcd.  I cannot eject the 
disc at all after the software exits nor will a new disc be recognized if 
I insert one while the software runs.  The dvd drive locks similarly.  To 
clear the locked drive requires a reboot.  The only error message logged 
is 'cd1: dos partition I/O error' (which seems odd on a music cd).

Any ideas?  Is this a 'feature' of having two 'cd' drives in one machine?
