+Tune up CDROM
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+>From Linux documentation:
+
+Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several
+reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may
+benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very
+high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these
+drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can
+prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
+make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.
+
+Howto
+~~~~~
+The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda
+old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net.
+Use it with :
+ setcd -x <speed> <cdrom device>
+
+Also you can try :
+ echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/<cdrom device>/settings
+but you'll need root privileges. (It didn't work for me - Gabucino)
+
+I use following command too :
+ echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/<cdrom device>/settings
+for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs).
+
+It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:
+
+hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 <cdrom device>
+to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
+(if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)
+
+Final words
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+Please refer to "/proc/ide/<cdrom device>/settings" for fine-tuning your CDROM.
