Seems I may of found at least a large part of the answer.
If you go to these files and modify:-
/etc/xcdroast.conf modification to the lines
READDEV2_DEVNR = 1
READDEV2_VENDOR = "PIONEER "
READDEV2_MODEL = "DVD-ROM DVD-116 "
and add to ,
/etc/lilo.conf modifiy append line=,
append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi "
which I guess tells the scsi-em to recognise
my DVD-ROM as a scsi device,as well as the writer.
Anyway when you open up xcdroast and go Setup-Device Scan
there in the window it now recognises:-
BusID Vendor Model Rev. Description
0,0 PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-116 1.22 CD-ROM
0,1 MITSUMI CR-48X9TE 1.0C CD-ROM
Which means the DVD-ROM and the Writer are now both recognised
by Xcdroast and a trawl through the setup ensures that the right device is set
up as both readers and writer. Clearly this is a big improvement and means it
is now possible to read and write on the fly in duplicate cd, if I should
choose too.The only regret is that the busId numers were not the otherway
around.(ie pioneer = 0,1 mitsumi=0,0 )
However everything is not quite 100% because my boot script comes up
with a message something like "blockdevice /dev/dvd cannot be located.
and in addition everytime I go to open the Roast by clicking on the xcdroast
icon I get a message "something has changed on the scsi-bus" which is
obvious for the first time , but after Save configuration , one might expect
it to decease , but it does not.
Has Anyone out there got any further ideas to complete a nice configuration.
regards,
John
