In the case of a real IDE device, you can use the plain old IDE device nodes. My ide-scsi-driven CD-ROM drives (one burner, one reader) respond: # hdparm -d /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target?/lun0/generic /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/generic: using_dma = 1 (on) /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/generic: using_dma = 1 (on) (As you can see, I'm running devfs. The same thing should work with the traditional /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd devices.) > This works for my ide-scsi DVD-ROM drive. Then again maybe what you > need is the "scsitools" package: I don't think the SCSI layer is the problem. Probably, it's the USB driver or hardware. (Missing ehci module? USB1.1 port? USB1.1 cable between USB2.0 devices?) -- Best Regards, | Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
