I did find that the Iomega Zip CD had problems some time ago, when using Cd record: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=310 Here is a linux review of it and it's operation: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=1604 EXCERPT: Description: The Iomega ZIP CD 650 is among the first CD-RW drives manufactured by Iomega. It connects via the USB port, and has an external power supply. It can use both the 650 MB (74 minutes audio CD) and 700 MB (80 minute audio CD) CDs. No additional drivers are needed to mount the drive under linux (kernel 2.4.x and above). A lot of effort is required to mount it, if possible, under pre-2.4.x kernels. The drive mounts as /dev/cdrom, or if you already have a cdrom, it mounts as /dev/cdrom1. In the kernel, SCSI support, SCSI emulation, SCSI-CDROM support, and USB support have to be enabled for the device to mount (and function) properly. The device reads/writes/rewrites at speeds of 6x4x4 under USB 1.1, while it is 52x24x8 under USB 2.0. _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list http://www.cwelug.org/ [email protected] http://lists.firepipe.net/listinfo/cwe-lug
