I ran into a problem with a SCSI CDRW running on an
Adaptec 2920 (I think) scsi card. The problem wasn't
with the cdrw it was with the drivers that supported
the scsi card. The card wasn't made by adaptec and
was using a future domain chipset. The fdomain driver
hung my system everytime I tried to use the CDRW in
write mode, and sometimes in read mode. I looked for
fixes but wasn't able to find any. Other's I talked
to had the same problem.
Don't know if that applies to your situation or
not...
