The device is listed as /dev/sr0, but that's about as much as I can determine about it. I want to use it with xcdroast, but xcdroast lists my two internal CD-R drives (neither of which can write to CDs because of the power fluctuations and a few other problems.) My usb drive isn't even listed... For what it's worth the only command listed above that shows my external drive is this: baby ~ # cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J\uffffrg Schilling cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris.
