I suspect none of the above. Those are really old drivers, used for non-ATAPI drives. I have a Sony CRX175E2 drive, which is a similar-enough model number that I strongly suspect it uses the same driver. This drive is ATAPI-IDE and will read if you use the ide-cd driver. For writing, the ide-scsi driver is required although this driver will work for reading as well, which simplifies things. See the CD-Writing-HOWTO for further information. Try 'modprobe ide-scsi' and see if the drive is reported. If so, add ide-scsi to /etc/modules. Bob
