hi all, i bought a memorex EIDE cdrw / dvdrw. the box didn't say ATAPI, neither did the manual, but looking at dmesg, this drive registered with the kerel as ATAPI.
i've never played around with IDE-SCSI CD writers before. all my experience is with pure good ol' SCSI. looking through the kernel config, i found a driver called ide-cd which looks like what i want (can someone confirm this?). i made the ide-cd module and insmoded it. according to the cdrecord man page, i need to specify the SCSI device name with the transport layer. the SCSI transport layer is default, so instead of what i'm used to: cdrecord -audio -v dev=0,5,0 *.wav i now need to specify a transport layer: cdrecord -audio -v dev=ATAPI:0,5,0 *.wav this means i need to get a SCSI device number for my new ATAPI drive. i did: cdrecord -scanbus and saw all my SCSI devices, but not the ATAPI CDRW / DVDRW. any suggestions? for those of you with ATAPI CDRW's or DVDRW's: can you please run "cdrecord -scanbus" and tell me if you see your device in the output? thanks! pete -- Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. -- Albert Einstein GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
