Oh dear, I'm missing something. I'm trying to attach a parallel port HP CD-Writer Plus 7200e to a linux machine and suffering the sorrows of the damned. I can get it as far as being able to mount and read a cd via /dev/pcd, but cdrecord -scanbus says "no target found" Reading the CD-Writer HOWTO seems to say that the scsi generic driver must get into the act. I've compile and built and insmod everything in sight. The sg and the pg module go in no problem. What I don't understand is what is the magical mystical mystery connection that tells the sg driver to speak via the parallel port? The CD-Writer-HOWTO says the sg devices should appear in /proc/devices, but I see it not. I was trying this with linux-2.1.125 and the Debian 2.0 distribution (gcc 2.7.2.1) cdrecord v 1.6 Thank you, John Carter EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone : 27-12-808-0374x194 Fax:- 27-12-808-0338 <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/5947> or <http://iwqs.pwv.gov.za> In a cluster of galaxies, one of many such clusters, there is a galaxy.
