Season Greetings,

Slackware 10, Kernel 2.4.26

I got myself an Asus Atapi CD-RW-Drive and I am not sure if this was the right 
choice for Linux. I was able to make it work following the instruction of the 
program xcdroast, however, some things seem strange.

I always get error messages telling not to use atapi instead scsi.

I had a CD with picture files on. When I copied them to the HD I can't open 
them and copying back to the CD I can't open them as well any longer. In fact 
I can not mount the CD anymore. Only xcdroast can.
$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: Not a directory

Trying too boot Knoppix 3.4 from the CD I get only a blank screen. Booting 
from CD and then switching to HD, Knoppix works alright.

It seems that xcdroast can only write .wav and .iso files?????

Questions:

Is there a better CD-RW-Drive for Linux than Asus? The shop is willing to 
exxchange.

Are there better programs than xcdroast to R+W and which?

Thanks & regards
