I have a Sony Vaio F505F (japanese model) and an external Sony CD-R
CRX510E CD-R drive (ide-atapi device, 20x read, 4x write). I can access
it with the ide_cs module of the pcmcia driver (after fiddling around
with the configuration files), and I have installed the scsi-modules,
including ide-scsi.
Now my question: in order for cdwrite to work, I would need the ide-scsi
module to access the drive.
However it can not find it, and I've read that one needs to compile the
scsi-modules in the kernel and
not to compile the ide-cd module. But then, I can not understand how the
pcmcia-card would get recognized.
Is there any solution for this problem, or another cd-write program that
works with ide-atapi drives?

Any help appreciated,
