Thanks for the good information, Pierre! It's been some time since I
worked and worked to get IDE burning going, so I don't remember what I
had. I recently installed 7.1, so I have none of the fixes set up for
IDE-SCSI, except for the lilo.conf addition which, interestingly, 7.1
inserted by default.

You and others have inspired me to give it another shot.

I presume you have a SCSI writer. I spent hours fruitless trying to
get my IDE writer to work by following all the ide-scsci tricks, and
I've seen gobs of messages from others fighting this thing.

My current conclusion is that I'll only be able to write CDs in
Windows until I replace my writer with a SCSI model. :-(
