[Linux-usb-users] HP8230e USB CDRW

[Peter Rasmussen]

First, I am not on this list as I am not sure how and if I can get it (my info is solely from http://www2.one-eyed-alien.net/~mdharm/linux-usb/) so please also answer me directly and/or let me know how to get on the list.

I am the owner of a HP8230e USB CDRW drive that I have not been successful in getting to work with Linux. I was very thrilled when I discovered support, though marked as experimental, in the standard Linus Linux kernel, where I am always running the latest, eg. right now 2.5.61.

Attempting to use Mr.J�rgs latest cdrtools (mkisofs, cdrecord) I wasn't successful and talking directly to J�rg he had less than kind words to say about Linux and the USB support here :-)

So, could anyone here tell me about the possibility to use that drive with Linux? Success- and failure stories?

My only wish is to use it to store files and data for backup, possibly multisession on CD-R, but even that isn't a must and I have no special desire to use it for music CD copying in case that makes it easier.

Thanks in advance,

Peter
