Sorry about the last mail. I have more information on my problem. On the machine where I have ide cdrom writers working, a cdrecord -scanbus provides:
scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'MATSHITA' 'UJDA330 ' '1.04' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * On the machine where it is NOT working, a cdrecord -scanbus provides: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'COMPAQPC' 'DDYS-T18350N ' 'B93E' Disk 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) 'COMPAQPC' 'DDYS-T18350N ' 'B93E' Disk 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * On the machine where it does not work I have a couple of scsi hard drives. I think by default the ide-scsi part is pointing to /dev/scd0 which could conflict with where the scsi disk is? Do I need to point the ide-scsi driver to a location and if so, how do I do that?
