cdrom speed tunable?

[Graham Bakay]

hello everyone,

does anyone know if there is a method (perhaps a kernel tunable) to force a 
cdrom drive to spin at a certain speed? i'm looking to slow down my cdrom 
drive. these newfangled contraptions sound like jet airplanes when they get 
up to speed. i long for the days of yore with 2x, 4x, or for crazy quickness, 
8x drives. at least they were quiet, and didn't vibrate like crazy.

tia,

in digests).
