First, I would think you want the device with ATAPI, not the generic. I don't use that nomenclature so I may be misreading it. I have used plain /dev/hdc and had it work. Second, did you use -scanbus to see which three numbers cdrecord wants with ide-scsi and try those? You don't want ATAPI in front of it, just dev=1,0,0 or similar. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
