[expert] USB External CDRW
There was a thread a while back about USB CDRW's, but it didn't go far... Does anyone have any info on how to make them work? Do you need the scsi-emulation drivers like for IDE drives?

IOMEGA CDRW works Freecom Traveler(USB) crashes the system at the moment of writing MiTSUMI also crashes the system The Freecom traveler works fine on the parallel port. There appears to be a woeful lack either in the standards of the USB or the enforcement of said standards or in the design of software to speak to those standards. Have you tested these with the most recent USB code either from the linux-usb CVS tree or with one of the recent 2.4.5-ac15+ kernels? It would be great if you could forward bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! Miles
