You pretty much have to use scsi emulation for atapi drives under Linux. However, I think cdrecord requires this, so if cdrecord's telling you that burnfree is off, you've probably got scsi emulation working. I think if cdrecord --scanbus finds your drive (as root), it's emulating. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
