Hi Robert,
thanks for the reply.
I was looking for writing a small C program or modify mmc-tool to achieve
that, but I couldn't locate the MMC command that allows locking the tray.
The output of mmc-tool -C is as follows:
Mode sense 10 information
Reads CD-R media.
Lock state is unlocked.
PREVENT/ALLOW jumper is not present.
Loading mechanism type is 0: caddy type loading mechanism.
Maximum read speed is 10818 K bytes/sec (about 61X)
Number of Volume levels is 16183
Buffers size for data is 61823 KB
Current read speed is 10531 KB
Maximum write speed is 256 KB
Current write speed is 45503 KB
The mmc.h in the headers also does not show any such MMC
command. Atleast the device.h mentions of such a capability.
I'll look at MMC specs if I can find one. If anyone knows
the command, the help will be appreciated.
