Open by 'devname' not supported on this OS. Cannot open SCSI driver. readcd: For possible targets try 'readcd -scanbus'. readcd: For possible transport specifiers try 'readcd dev=help'. # readcd -scanbus readcd: Error 0. Cannot open SCSI driver. I don't know yet if this is a general readcd problem or just a problem with the ports version, however readcd -scanbus fails here as well. cdrecord -scanbus still works.

I have tried several different CD-RW media, and played with -s (the media is rated as 12x), but have observed no changes. You could use readcd's c2scan option to check if your CD-RWs are OK. readcd is part of (/usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools/) if you don't have atapicam in your kernel you have to kldload it.

I have tried several different CD-RW media, and played with -s (the media is rated as 12x), but have observed no changes. Can anyone suggest solutions? This raises a number of questions:- * Can the RW disks you have written be read in some other drive? * Can you read RW disks written somewhere else? A pure shot in the dark -- but I suspect the read on your drive may not be sensitive enough to read RW disks. Of course if it can write them one would expect it is designed to be able to read them -- but it may be out of spec. or have deteriorated since manufacture.
