Yes, I'm quite sure. It looks / behaves like that. > > I believe that resetting the drive does only work for 50/68 pin > parallel SCSI. Here is, why I think "-reset" works on U20/external USB2.0: I mentioned the hangs in my previous e-mail. I also described the scenario, where I always have to reboot afterwards (or -alternatively - to wait ten minutes or so for getting a timeout and for cdrecord to provide an error message and then exit by itself). Because I don't wanted to wait for the timeout and for cdrecord to quit by itself every time, I usually chose to reboot via another xterm and "init 6". Then - still after the next warm-reboot - the external USB / or ieee1394a connected burner would _still blink_. Then comes the point, where I try "cdrecord-ProDVD -v -V dev=2,0,0 -reset". And afterwards the drive finally stops blinking and I can reload a new disk finally. Note: vold is disabled on my machines, so that we can ignore Volume Management. After the reboot _and_ the "-reset" the drive is usable again. Until it happens next time. I thinks that's not a cdrecord related bug. The external Combo enclosure is a very cheap one. Maybe it's not 100% USB2.0 and ieee1394a standards conform. And therefore not 100% compatible to all configs/systems. Another additional note: The enclosure was in 90% connected to my U20 via USB2.0, rather than ieee1394a. Let's ignore the latter. Just one question in terms of cdrecord itself: Why does it burn with speed=4, despite the fact, that it doesn't only say by itself, dma was to slow for burning that fast (4x), _but_ also despite the fact, taht I explicitly told him to write with speed=2 ? Maybe the media don't support writing that slow anymore? > > BTW: you use an old cdrecord version, try to compile a recent one. I know, I'm using an old precompiled version.
