Re: CD-ROM settings and hardware resources...

[Bryan Simmons <bsimmo1@gl.umbc.edu>]

The CD-ROM in question is a CD-RW.  The system set it up as /dev/scd0
which is not accessible from hdparam.  if I turn it into an ide device,
I will no longer be able to write CDs with it.

Does anyone know a way around this?  I can't hardly believe that all the
millions of Linux users have been, and still are, stuck with CD-RWs that
have to masquerade as SCSI devices.
