I have an external cd burner (Microsolutions Backpack) that connects to my parallel port. I know that it should be able to work with linux, as it seemed to "just work" when I was using Mandrake awhile back, but I can't get it working now.
I recompiled my kernel and made sure all the modules I (think) I need are included. Rebooted, did insmod parport, insmod paride, insmod bpck6, insmod pg, insmod pcd. The guide I'm using for which modules I need is http://mm.isu.edu/pipermail/islug/2001-April/000793.html According to that site, at this point I should be able to do 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/pcd0 /burner'. Here's what I get: sgc:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/pcd0 /burner mount: special device /dev/pcd0 does not exist And it doesn't. ls /dev/pcd* turns up nothing. Also, typing 'cdrecord -scanbus' gets me sgc:~# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. Under Mandrake, that would've given me a line that looks like 0,0,0 0) 'MITSUMI ' 'CR-4804TE ' '3.0D' Removable CD-ROM Any ideas? I'm a bit lost as to where to start looking for answers. -- Caitrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
