The spec sheets at sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/downloads look pretty
identical. At a guess, when Sony installed their new firmware into the
500, they started selling it as a 510. Dunno whether there's any real
difference.

I don't think from this fragment of SCSI I/O one can derive anything
useful. Use cdrecord-prodvd -inq to obtain the drive firmware version,
if it's 2.0c you need to upgrade. The latest firmware is available from

http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/drx500ulxdwn.htm
(scroll down to "Firmware Upgrade 2.0F")

Has anyone successfully managed to install this under Linux? How?

Otherwise it may be safer to use a windows box to do the firmware
upgrade.

As for getting the drive recognised, with any Linux distribution worth
using this is fully automatic. You plug it in, the computer beeps a
couple of times, you may need to run rescan_scsi_bus.sh (as root, you
do for ieee1394), and you can see the drive in /proc/scsi/scsi. I only
have a USB1.1 to test this with but cdrecord worked fine (execept for
writing which I didn't attempt). I can't remember which modules were
loaded by the hotplug system, the usual uhci and scsi stuff. SuSE 8.2,
kernel 2.4.20 (SuSE does apply many patches to their kernels).

2003-06-22 Thread Scott Savarese
I'm not sure what you mean, or how those drivers all work together so if
you can explain it that would be nice.

The drive is recognized by the system as device 3,0,0. I have usb-storage
installed which I gets bridges the device as a scsi device. I have sg
going, and it should work.

Thanks,
Scott

dvdrecord uses the 

mmc_mdvdgeneric SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver

to burn DVD-R's . So it needs a scsi layer and a sg layer or just libschilly. 
So one would need a usb2-scsi layer to get that functionality.

There's hpusbscsi.o as a driver. I dunno how its done in this case .
Does one first have a usb2-ide driver loaded and next load the ide-scsi 
driver? 

check withs lsmod whats loaded ?

[Dvdrtools-users] Help with Sony DRX-500ULX drive

2003-06-22 Thread Scott Savarese
I am trying to use dvdrecord with my sony DRX-500ULX drive (connected
via USB). I get the following error:

dvdrecord: Input/output error. reserve track: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB:  53 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00
Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x24 Qual 0x00 (invalid field in cdb) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)

Looking through the archives this means that I should upgrade my
firmware, right? But where can I get new firmware from and how do I
install it? Does dvdrecord support this drive?

Thanks,
Scott

[Dvdrtools-users] new Sony burner

2003-06-22 Thread Florin Andrei
Anyone knows what's the difference between the new burner Sony DRU-510A
and the older Sony DRU-500AX?
Is the newer one similar enough to the older one to assume they will
both work with the same software?
