You can run cdrecord --scanbus to scan the SCSI bus, which includes virtual SCSI devices such as an ide-scsi cdrw drive. Without ide-scsi emulation, and the aforementioned modules (ide-scsi-, scsi core, scsi generic, and scsi-cdrom) cdrecord will not detect the cdrw drive, and the system as a whole will simply see a regular CDROM drive. I have a CDRW drive, hdd, and ide-scsi emulation. When I run cdrecord --scanbus this is the output: cdrecord --scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J?rg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24 Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'CD-R/RW ' 'CW079D CD-R/RW ' '11SJ' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * HTH PS- RTFM ;) The CD-Writing HOWTO might be of some help: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html You might also peruse the cdrecord man page: http://linux.ctyme.com/man/man0196.htm On Sun, 2002-12-29 at 15:30, Jude DaShiell wrote: > I was afraid of that.
