Hello Bryan , Fyi , Mentioning M$-widows if only saying that the hardware itself is funtioning , can (and usually does) illicit a smaller response from some groups . Also might want to post a little more info about the device & system & kernel . That informaiton will help others to help you . I for one have an HP CD-Writer+ 9200 scsi hanging off of a lsi-53c1010-66 on board controller . If you can , posting on a webpage someplace the output from 'dmesg' and giving the Url: to it here is a good option as well .
A good referance to bash stuff ...
