Richie, I use an atapi cdrom/dvd/cdr-w which works perfectly as a cdrom/dvd when using ide/atapi. but to use the cdr-w features of the drive I need to use the ide-scsi emulation... While the drive I use is an ide device, i don't think the atapi drivers support the cdr-w functions of any device it manages (slap me if i'm wrong, gently b'cos it happens often). The linux atapi driver only implements read operations (last i looked anyway), so atapi burners need to use ide-scsi emulation to support write operations... There are howto's on the cdrecord site, but I couldn't find any mention of usb after a quick look over the page. -> http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html
How that would work with usb, i don't know... Hope it helps anyway Gef :] On Tue, 11 Dec 2001 10:30:20 +0100 "Richie B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Matthew Dharm wrote: > > > There are some USB/IDE adaptors which can only handle ATAPI devices, but I > > don't think the Scanlogic chipset is one of them.
