I got that part to work, but the cd rom read only drive is not
recognised by xcdroast, linux will recognise it,
but not the app because the app wants a scsi drive,
how would I go about making the first drive as a reader
get recognised by xcdroast so I can direct copy a cd
in the reader to the already working burner,
the reader is not recognised by the app, just linux.
