I don't know if it can help but for me the only way to make kscd work was changing the file (home)/.kde/share/config/kscdrc by a text editor changing the row CDDevice=hda (in my system I connected cd as master and hd as slave to add a little bit of confusion), in yours should be hdc of course. Idem no way to mount cd from kde panel using devices like /dev/cdanything only way was /dev/hda; someone said some days ago that a program called xmms-cdread should read cds via ide digital cable; someone says it is in 8.1 distribution, someother says it don 't. bye.
