(and works yet) Did you try if they work on minicom? Almost all standard (AT Hayes compatible) serial modems work in linux - only some very old (14.400) Rockwell modems don't!

Current cdrecordes don't have fine tuning of low speed (1x, 2x, ...) According to: http://www.plextor.be/english/products/pxw482448a.html http://www.plextor.be/english/pdf/PlextorVariRec.pdf http://www.plextor.be/english/pdf/PlextorCAV.pdf your CDR should do at least 4x, 8x, 16x (and in range from 20X upto 48X covered in 1X steps). Try then 4x or 8x. On my P200 I have PXWR 8/2/20 and I don't have any problems at 8x. I think that 24X (3600KB/s) is doable even on P200 (on light machine load) but it depend on your HDD speed - my HDD IBM-DTTA-350840 in hdparm test has >8MB/s. You should connect hdd and cdr to different IDE channels and turn on DMA for HDD and CDR. I use for disk (only, because my cdr is on scsi:) hdparm -c1 -m16 -p4 -u1 -X34 -d1 /dev/hdb Use burn-proof technology with cdrecord option driveropts=burnfree :) Mirek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There are two missinterpreted (because they aren't related) definitions in ATA standards: - physical interface PIO, S/MDMA, UDMA - logical (software) acces to data: CHS, LBA (LBA28) and LBA 48bit As I know all current ATA drives (not S-ATA) even theoretical 128PiB have physical interface usable on all plain ATA controllers starting from i386 (or even i286). Only last ATA-7 standard gives compatybility level for
