most CDRW drives seem to be a lot happier if you load the applicable SCSI generic layer over them. E.g. you have a builtin CDRW? modprobe ide-scsi I haven't used the USB one, but a USB floppy was happy after I loaded the USB "storage" module, which reported SCSI linkup, and I was able to both read and write. So that probably ought to be enough, but as I said, I've no personal experience with it. Let us know if that does it for you. * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
