You're absolutely correct. It's a real SCSI device, in a SCSI only system (no IDE on the mobo at all!). So, I do not need the ide-scsi module. However, that not withstanding, the thing still don't woik as a CD Writer. It DOES however work as a CDrom. I can put regular CDs in it, mount them up, and they work just great. Also, the sytems harddrives are on the same scsi controller, so I know the controller is working, or the thing wouldn't be running. So something very strange is happening/not happening.

It's interesting that "cdrecord -scanbus" tells you to run "cdrecord -scanbus"... kinda circular isn't it? Any more guesses?
