Hi. I'm trying to set up my SCSI card and CD-R and I need some advice. Below is the output I get when I load my SCSI module.
I don't know what sr0-6 are but a get a feeling I only need 1 of them. Once this module is loaded devices /dev/scd0 through /dev/scd6 accesses the same single cd burner that is plugged into the SCSI card. I don't know what a lun, or id is either.

I have the msdos software to do this. Can I do this from Linux without have to reboot to a msdos floppy. Can I correct this just by using the software differently. Any and all replys are greatly appreciated! MTY
