As UDMA/33 works properly for everything else like growisofs reading or writing a DVD (16X) or such, and FreeBSD (same computer, multi-boot) manages -c2scan just fine with UDMA/33, I'd not look for hardware faults here. It's rather an incompatibility between cdrecord and Linux or a libscg or Linux bug. The culprit needs yet to be identified, my next plan is to retry with a current Linux 2.6.15.X kernel and then dig deeper if the problem persists, but I'm not in a hurry. Two other drives available for Linux for C2 scans. > Last time I tried, NEC drives didn't work with crappy IDE cables. I don't think that this is NEC specific, and since you were talking of 90 cm cable which is > ~10% of the wavelength, I'm not surprised there's trouble. ISTR the maximum allowed length is 18 inches (45 cm). -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
