Nope. Still not working. I've had other dragons to slay for the past couple of days. I don't have any evidence that this drive does work under linux, but it appears to be a repackaging of an AOpen drive (at least, that's what the sticker says). I should have some more free time either today or tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll be looking at it soon. I'll try those things you suggested. I'll also have to do some research to figure out what all of those acronyms mean. :-) One of the things that's listed on the cdrecord website is that wonky kernels can cause problems. I'm using the stock Debian 2.4.18-k7 kernel, so I would think that it works fine. However, I'll upgrade to the 2.4.19 kernel and see if that helps either. I've been meaning to do this so that I can get rid of the alsa modules as well. Thanks for keeping this thread alive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
