Hi,
I am the happy (?) owner of a HP USB CD-Writer Plus. I saw in the mailing
list archives that there has been a short discussion on this device,
and that it doesn't seem to work yet.
I'd really like to see it working soon, and also would like to help
(HP only has a win98 driver... AARGH!) However, these are my first steps
in the USB world, so I'm a little in the dark as to what needs to be done
to get it working.
I have a notebook with an UHCI hub with 2 ports: one connector is on
the notebook, the other can be accessed via a port replicator. The
notebook is running Linux Slackware <some-ancient-release> upgraded
to the 2.3.99-pre6 kernel.
When I connect the CD writer, it is correctly recognized as being
a HP USB CD-Writer manufactured by Shulttle Technology Inc. I noted
somewhere that mass storage devices are bridged to scsi, so I
loaded scsi_mod and tried to mount the device to /dev/sda1 but
scsi complains about a bad major/minor number... ? Also, when
connecting I got a very large dump of various informations (yes my
kernel is compiled with "verbose debug messages") but these were
not logged so I do not have details.
I have no other scsi devices, and the major/minor of sda1 is 8/1.
Do I need the scsi generic support module sg.o ?
I noticed that Matti tried to mount it on /dev/scd0 ? I don't have
the unit at my work so I cannot currently try this.
Regards, Grit
