They have to be, otherwise they wouldn't work at all, even under windoze ;) There is no such thing as an 'Integrated Drive Electronics/ AT-Attachment' CD-RW without being SCSI emulated, any OS. Lilo(conf) should have/needs 'ide-scsi' on the kernel parameter append line, eg, somethin like append=" devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" and then you should see somethin like ... $ cd /dev dev$ ll scd* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Oct 19 10:38 scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd Another check is to run 'cdrecord -scanbus' which for my burner as slave on second ide (ide1, hdd) returns scsibus0: | 0,3,0 3) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W8432T' '1.09' Removable CD-ROM See the relationship bus 0, target 3, lun 0 ... and scd0 -> ? With the same hardware, no config changes, but different Mandrake installs, my burner was sometimes 0,0,0. Your burner could also be scd<number?> depending whether you have other scsi or scsi emulated devices, so check your particular install. Maybe i don't understand what you're askin ? mea culpa, sorry -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas > > At 15:50 2002-10-19 -0500, you wrote: > >On Saturday October 19 2002 02:15 pm, Richard Laframboise wrote: > > > Hi List, > > > > > > I have an IDE CD burner - Plextor 8/4/32A - How can I > > > address it as if it was a SCSI device ? > > > > > > Purpose : To make backups > > > > I've got the same burner, it's slave on ide1 (hdd), and ide-scsi > >makes it /dev/scd0
